Schneps Media is proud to announce
that Courier Life has
named Zachary Gewelb as the
Brooklyn papers’ new editorin
chief.
Gewelb is coming over
from Queens, where he served
for a year as editor-in-chief of
Schneps Media’s TimesLedger
Newspapers.
In addition to serving as
the top editor of the four Courier
Life newspapers in the
borough: the Park Slope Courier,
Mill–Marine Courier, Bay
News, and Brooklyn Graphic,
Gewelb will also oversee the
editorial operations of the
Brooklyn Paper.
“Zach has the experience,
passion and leadership to
continue to grow our reach
throughout Brooklyn with
award-winning content,” said
CEO and co-publisher Joshua
Schneps. “He has proven
to be a great leader of the
TimesLedger group and we
are thrilled to have him take
on the role as editor-in-chief in
Brooklyn.”
Gewelb, 26, fi rst joined
TimesLedger in December
2016 to manage the newsroom
and run the its website. He also
served as sports editor and entertainment
editor while overseeing
the paper’s layout and
design operations.
Gewelb will take over for
Anthony Rotunno, both as editor
in-chief and as co-host of
Brooklyn Paper Radio. He will
oversee the editorial team in
its print and digital operations,
with a focus on growing the latter
by expanding online coverage
and social-media presence
in order to deliver hyper-local
news to even more readers
around Kings County.
“I am thrilled for the opportunity
to serve as the editor-inchief
for the Brooklyn Paper
and Courier Life publications,”
Gewelb said. “I look forward to
maintaining the paper’s high
standard of excellence and contributing
to the phenomenal
hyperlocal news coverage of
Brooklyn.”
A graduate of SUNY Oswego,
Gewelb worked at
North Jersey Media Group as
a sports editor before joining
the TimesLedger staff, where
he served as deputy editor for
a year before taking over as
editor-in-chief.
Gewelb made his inaugural
appearance on last week’s episode
of Brooklyn Paper Radio
and said his main focus will
be shining a light on the people
in Brooklyn whose stories deserve
to be told.
“In community news, the
people are what is most important,
and whether it’s sports or
in the arts, our job is to highlight
those people,” he said. “I
can’t say enough how excited
I am for this opportunity. I am
absolutely thrilled to be here.”
Gewelb enthusiastically
promised to hit the ground running,
assuring Brooklynites
they can expect the same style
of deeply reported, hyper-local
news to fi ll the Courier’s pages
and website under his reign.
“We are thrilled to have
Zach, an experienced professional
and an award-winning
journalist, move from leading
our TimesLedger papers in
Queens to the Brooklyn Paper
and Courier Life group. They
will have a brilliant voice
with his leadership; Brooklyn
is lucky,” said Schneps Media
President and Publisher
Victoria Schneps.
The Brooklyn Paper and
Courier Life newspapers are a
trusted source of news and opinion
in Brooklyn and will continue
to provide in-depth coverage
throughout the borough.
