[edit] History

Eagle Newspapers was founded in 1992, joining two long-serving publishers, Manlius Publishing and Brown Newspapers, and bringing hundreds of years worth of publishing excellence together. Eagle Newspapers made its home in Baldwinsville until 1996, when it moved its headquarters and printing facilities to Firestone Drive in DeWitt, New York

Since that time, Eagle Newspapers has continued its dedication to Central New York communities by launching the Oneida Press, Solvay-Geddes Express and Syracuse City Eagle publications, which are available free throughout their respective communities.

In 1998, Eagle Newspapers purchased Spotlight Newspapers in Albany, a group of 10 suburban weeklies. In addition, Eagle's main office in Syracuse is the home of Empire Media, which publishes the statewide-distributed Empire Monthly and Empire Education publications.

Eagle Newspapers is also known throughout the region for affordable commercial printing.

In 2002, Eagle Newspapers launched cnylink.com, an interactive website touting the top news and sports stories from Eagle's 15 weeklies, along with classified ads, entertainment calendar, archives, coupons, blogs, photo galleries and links to government and school websites. Since that time, Eagle has launched seven more online properties, including empiremonthly.com, syracuseparent.net, urbancny.com, spotlightnews.com, cdparentpages.com, capitaldistrictyardsale.com and piratecny.com. To maintain those properties and manage the company's website design services, the company formed a New Media division in 2006.


[edit] Community news

Eagle Newspapers is well known for its concentration on positive community-level news -- news closer to local communities than readers can find anywhere else. Eagle Newspapers publications are filled with school announcements, wedding announcements, birth announcements and award-winning coverage of schools, government, sports and human-interest stories.

[edit] Awards

Eagle Newspapers has won dozens of awards for journalistic excellence from the New York Press Association and the Syracuse Press Club. Both groups have recognized the strong columns, investigations, feature stories, design, editorials and online excellence that characterize Eagle Newspapers products.
