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.
