AM New York: Manhattan's Largest Circulation Daily.

AM New York is a free daily New York City morning newspaper published in New York City by Tribune Company, which also publishes Newsday. According to the company, average daily distribution as of summer 2005 was 311,500.

When it launched in October of 2003, AM New York was the first newspaper of its kind in New York City. Its main competitor is now New York Metro, which followed AM New York into the market, using many of the same distribution and marketing strategies.

The paper is primarily distributed in two ways; The first being by workers ("hawkers," who sport a red AM New York vest) paid to station themselves near and around NYC transportation points, who offer the free paper to anyone who passes by; The second being distributed in enclosed newspaper holders ("honor boxes") located on the sidewalks and corners near areas of high pedestrian traffic.

They range from a Saturday night “Barack Your Party” bar canvassing to a “Barks for Barack Sniff-In” that same morning in Prospect Park, where Obama supporters will bring their sign- and sticker- festooned pups on behalf of “the underdog.”

Under the arcane New York primary rules, delegates are awarded based on a proportion of the vote per each Congressional district, meaning that Obama could lose the state and still walk home with a trove of delegates.

On Monday, Clinton will hold a “National Town Hall” in the city that will be simulcast across the country.

The Obama campaign said their candidate’s schedule during the next several days remained fluid, as do the polls. Though many surveys in recent days show Clinton with a double-digit lead, the Obama people point to a recent Marist poll that shows the candidates statistically tied in the city as a reason for optimism. ...
