Queens Chronicle

An award-winning weekly newspaper that has served the communities of Queens since 1978

The Queens Chronicle is an award-winning weekly newspaper that has served the communities of Queens since 1978. From Astoria to Laurelton, Whitestone to Howard Beach, and all of the neighborhoods in between, we cover the news and events of our communities. The Queens Chronicle was started by Susan Merzon on Nov. 2, 1978 and was originally called “The Paper.” The Paper had a circulation of 5,000 and covered Howard Beach and Ozone Park. With the goal of expanding to other areas of Queens, The Paper was renamed the Queens Chronicle in 1984. Over the years we have expanded to cover the entire borough of Queens and now publish nine individual newspapers every Thursday, with a total circulation of 160,000 reaching over 400,000 readers.
