Staten Island Advance
The Staten Island Advance is a daily newspaper published in the borough of Staten Island in New York City. It is the only daily newspaper published in the borough and the largest by circulation, covering news of local and community interest in the borough, including borough politics. The current circulation is 68,700 daily and 88,300 Sunday. It is currently owned by the Advance/Newhouse Group.
The Advance was first published in 1886 by the printer John J. Crawford and the businessman James C. Kennedy as the Richmond County Advance. The name was later changed to the Daily Advance before it acquired its current name. At the time of its initial publication, it had nine competitors for the daily newspaper business in Staten Island. It surpassed its early competitors, with its circulation growing from 4500 in 1910 to over 80,000 by the mid 1990s.
In 1922 it was purchased by Samuel Newhouse as one of the first acquisitions in the newspaper empire he built over his lifetime. One year after Newhouse's death in 1979, the Advance Group acquired Random House, which it held until selling it to Bertelsmann in 1998.
The original offices were in the New Brighton neighborhood. The Advance was one of the first businesses in the borough to use commercial telephones and electricity. In 1960 it moved to its present offices on Fingerboard Road in Grasmere.
