The Hamptson Sheet is an upscale "seasonal glossy publication" with local distribution that is the least "significant competitor" in its area; editing is done in Manhattan.[1]
History[edit]
The 8-pager freebie[2] was founded in August 1997[1] by Joan Jedell,[3] and was described as "resembles advertorial inserts in Sunday tabloids." A competing periodical presents as "Each page feels two pages thick! It is impressive." Some obtain larger page counts via "a lot of pictures of people with drinks in their hand."[2] Like its competitors, The Hampton Sheet includes social gossip about bold names. By 2004 its 16 competitors included six new publications just that year alone.[2] Circulation in some of these is measured by the Audit Bureau of Circulations.
By 2010, Hampton Sheet was included alongside the "grab the free glossy magazines" (which were fewer in number than a decade prior). [4] The oldest local paper, The East Hampton Star, which, like the others is a weekly, charges $1.[5]
Prior to founding her newspaper, Jedell "was an agent for advertising photographers who began summering in the Hamptons in the early 1980's."[3] For three summers she freelanced for Dan's Papers and then began The Hampton Sheet.[6][1] Here she gets to write about bold names who write about bold names.[7]
NYPost coverage[edit]
The New York Post's coverage of Hampton periodicals is named HAMPTON'S DIARY and they've covered what is headlined as war of the East End mags.[8] This Post column covered Corona-related quotes such as "Right now, it's life in limbo" (May, 2020).[9]
In 2013 The Post wrote "There's little point thumbing through Hampton Sheet unless you develop a burning urge to gawk at Manhattan's uber-affluent."[10]
