New York is marked by significant contradictions, characterized by immense wealth and the highest wealth inequality in the U.S. The state is diverse but deeply segregated, and although it has progressive climate laws, it has failed to meet its environmental deadlines. The decline in local news outlets has allowed officials to operate with less transparency, leaving many New Yorkers unaware of important decisions. A nonprofit news organization is focused on exposing these issues, highlighting power structures, and promoting accountability through journalism aimed at revealing the truth and affecting change.
New York is an incongruous state, home to fabulous wealth but also the highest rate of wealth inequality, leading to a dramatic contrast in living conditions.
In the last two decades, the number of local news outlets in New York have been slashed in half, making it easier for officials to operate out of public view.
Our journalism scrutinizes how power operates in New York, revealing how hidden decisions impact the lives of ordinary New Yorkers.
The work has already demonstrated the impact of journalism in holding power to account and influencing policy changes.
