Metro New York is a free daily newspaper in New York City started on May 5, 2004 by Metro International.[1] Its main competition is AM New York, which practices many of the same distribution and marketing strategies. The daily is primarily distributed by workers paid to station themselves in areas with high pedestrian traffic, who offer the free paper to anyone who passes by. There are also similar Metro papers offered in Philadelphia and Boston which are run by the same publishing company. In 2009, Metro International sold its US papers to a former executive.[2]
Since 2014, Aleksander Korab, former content director of Metro International, is the editor-in-chief of Metro US.[3]
