Nassau County, with its almost 1.5 million residents, would be larger than 10 states by population.

This number includes people from every religion, ethnic group, abilities and lifestyles, contributing to a vibrant and diverse community. We have the 12th largest police department in the nation, and our GDP surpasses that of 145 nations in the United Nations.

In a county this large, diverse, and prosperous, there is always something happening: sporting events, breaking news, concerts, ceremonies, and more.

The media that cover these have an obligation and duty to keep our residents informed about public issues in the county.

Today, I am proud to welcome Schneps Media Long Island’s new venture to Nassau County and invite our residents to read about the great things going on in their communities and keep them abreast on issues important to our county.

Schneps Media Long Island is led by Victoria Schneps-Yunis and her son, Josh Schneps.

Vickie is a trailblazing leader who made national news when she helped shed light on the Willowbrook State School, bringing attention to the plight of its residents and advocating for their rights. Her commitment to journalism and community service has made her a respected figure in the media industry.

Recently, Schneps Media acquired two of our local papers that have served our county for years: Blank Slate Media and the Anton Media Group.
