Schneps Media Launches with Viafoura to Power Local Community Engagement

June 4, 2026

Community, Customers, Engagement

Schneps Media has built a reputation for keeping New Yorkers informed and connected for over 35 years. Hyper-local by design, their journalism has been as grassroots as it gets, close to the residents, civic leaders, and local businesses that define the communities they cover. 

Now, with Viafoura’s CommunityOS live across their network, their two million weekly readers have a place to connect, discuss the stories that matter to them, and become active members of the communities Schneps Media covers.

The launch of CommunityOS gives Schneps Media the infrastructure to turn reader passion into active, ongoing participation, most recently with Dan’s Papers and bxtimes. Moderation tools keep those conversations safe, and the personalization features keep readers coming back.

Audience habits are shifting toward participation-driven experiences. For Schneps Media, community engagement is a natural extension of its long-standing role as a trusted local connector and a direct path to building loyal audience relationships.
