About Newsday Media Group
Newsday Media Group is a locally owned, independent media company grounded in journalistic excellence, integrity, and commitment to the communities it serves. With 19 Pulitzer Prizes and dozens of Emmy Awards, it's one of the most decorated news organizations in the country.
The company is in the middle of a significant transformation, expanding from its newspaper roots into a multimedia operation spanning digital, video, podcasts, live events, and data-driven civic engagement. NMG properties include the flagship Newsday and Newsday.com, NewsdayTV, the Newsday Live events series, and nextLI, a civic research and community forum platform funded by The Rauch Foundation.
A new 130,000-square-foot headquarters in Melville features a broadcast-quality TV studio and multimedia production space. Newsday Live produces a growing calendar of food and wine tastings, author talks, sports Q&As, concerts, and community events. Feed Me, the company's food and dining vertical, includes a web series, quarterly print magazine, and restaurant coverage. Brand 360, the in-house content studio, partners with advertisers across healthcare, education, energy, tourism, and retail.
Newsday's investigative unit has driven real-world change, from prompting schools to replace unsafe football helmets to contributing reporting that led to federal corruption convictions. Community programs include the Newsday Marching Band Festival, CheerFest, Scholar-Artist honors, and partnerships with local nonprofits focused on hunger, housing, youth education, and child welfare.
For people who care about local journalism, multimedia storytelling, and community impact, Newsday is doing the work at scale.
