MxnnCreates and PanelPR LTD Acquire The New York Weekly Journal, Revamping Its Legacy for the Digital Age
Toronto, Canada – In a bold move bridging America’s storied journalistic heritage with the cutting edge of digital innovation, MxnnCreates—led by visionary entrepreneur Mann Patel | Mxnn—in partnership with PanelPR LTD’s Shovon Ahmed, has acquired The New York Weekly Journal. This historic publication, originally associated with press freedom and celebrated for its role during colonial times, is set to undergo a comprehensive revamp that reimagines its legacy for the 21st century.
Honoring a Storied Past, Embracing a Digital Future
Founded in 1733 by printer John Peter Zenger, The New York Weekly Journal was once a critical voice in the fight for freedom of the press in America. Today, in a move that pays homage to that revolutionary spirit, the new owners are determined to blend the publication’s time-honored commitment to independent journalism with innovative digital storytelling techniques.
“Acquiring The New York Weekly Journal represents a unique opportunity to honor our nation’s rich heritage while propelling it into a new era,” said Mann Patel | Mxnn, Founder and CEO of MxnnCreates. “We are retooling this iconic publication to serve as a digital platform that champions investigative reporting, multimedia storytelling, and interactive reader engagement.”
A Partnership Built on Strategic Vision
Joining Mann Patel | Mxnn in this venture is Shovon Ahmed, Founder of PanelPR LTD and renowned expert in digital media strategy and online reputation management. With a proven track record of elevating brands and public figures through innovative PR campaigns, Shovon Ahmed brings a wealth of expertise in navigating the complex digital landscape.
“Partnering with Mann Patel | Mxnn to breathe new life into The New York Weekly Journal is an exciting challenge,” said Shovon Ahmed. “Our combined vision is to transform this historic brand into a trusted digital news platform that not only respects its past but also embraces the opportunities of modern media.”
Revamping the Icon for Modern Audiences
Under the new management, The New York Weekly Journal will be reimagined as a digital-first publication that offers:
Multimedia-Driven Reporting: Integrating video, interactive graphics, and data visualizations to complement in-depth written analysis.
Enhanced User Experience: A completely redesigned website optimized for mobile and desktop, ensuring seamless navigation and instant access to news.
Community Engagement: Interactive features such as live discussions, reader polls, and social media integration to foster a dynamic exchange of ideas.
Legacy and Innovation: A special section dedicated to exploring the legacy of John Peter Zenger—and the principles of press freedom—while drawing parallels to today’s digital challenges.
Drawing inspiration from its historical roots and the pioneering spirit of John Peter Zenger (often revered as the original champion of the free press), the revamped Journal is poised to become a beacon for independent journalism. Early reports indicate plans to incorporate a “Heritage Series” that will revisit landmark moments in American press history, including an in-depth look at Zenger’s trial and its lasting impact on freedom of expression.

This strategic acquisition marks the latest chapter in the evolution of digital media. Industry experts believe that the revitalized New York Weekly Journal will set a new standard for legacy publications in the digital age. With its fusion of history and innovation, the Journal is expected to appeal to a broad audience—from seasoned news enthusiasts and historians to tech-savvy millennials seeking credible news sources.
“Merging our creative prowess with a deep respect for journalistic integrity is the cornerstone of our vision,” Mann Patel | Mxnn noted. “In today’s fast-paced media environment, it’s crucial to offer both trustworthy reporting and an engaging, interactive experience. We’re committed to ensuring that The New York Weekly Journal not only survives but thrives as a digital powerhouse.”
