About Richner Communications

When Robert and Edith Richner began publication of the Nassau Herald in 1964, they had a simple mission: to provide a forum where their community could find reliable, unbiased information and voice their own concerns about the issues of the day.

The Herald quickly became a vital resource—not just as a forum for community news and opinion, but for providing businesses and institutions with an affordable way to reach their customers and constituents.

Today, the mission of the family-owned Richner Communications has not changed, but the means to achieve it certainly has.

Now, with nearly 60 media assets—including Herald publications covering much of Nassau County; The Riverdale Press, a Pulitzer Prize–winning newspaper in the Bronx; and specialty publications like The Jewish Star—along with comprehensive websites, email newsletters, targeted emails, social media, advertorials, direct mailings, brochures, digital display, branded content, and event partnerships across America, Richner Communications offers nearly limitless platforms for reaching your audience.

The Orthodox Jewish community of Nassau County wanted a voice for its own concerns — local, national and even international. Richner answered the call with The Jewish Star and thejewishstar.com, a paper and website with a uniquely local perspective on a wide range of issues.
Our annual community magazines are a unique resource for comprehensive directories of activities, businesses, government agencies and more, in addition to lively feature stories.
