In May 2024, the company acquired Anton Media Group. [6] In July that same year the company acquired Blank Slate Media. [7]

Controversies

The company was criticized in 2019 for their involvement in One Brooklyn, a free mailing by then-Brooklyn borough president Eric Adams, described by Gothamist as "full of glowing stories about the borough president". [5] [8] Former Schneps reporters told Gothamist that "the Schneps owners forced them to write sponsored content, while shielding advertisers and local officials from critical coverage." [5]
