New website to launch to cover NY cannabis industry

Advance Media New York, which owns The Post-Standard and operates Syracuse.com, is launching New York Cannabis Insider, a subscription-based website to cover the state’s cannabis industry.

The site is set to target “C-Suite influencers, industry group leaders, lobbyists, politicians and political influencers, legal and security experts, banking and medical experts, and business owners.”

Revenues are expected to be generated from coverage of the state’s cannabis, hemp, and cannabinoid industries.

“There is great demand for quality targeted information about the cannabis industry development in New York,” Tim Kennedy, president of Advance Media New York, said in a statement. “We believe customers will pay for that quality information — be it newsletter, website and/or event.”

The search is ongoing to hire an editor and reporter to staff Cannabis Insider.
