New York exhibits stark contrasts, such as significant wealth alongside the highest wealth inequality in the U.S. Despite being a leader in diversity, the state is also highly segregated. It pioneered ambitious climate legislation, yet fails to meet its deadlines and continues to fund industries fueling the climate crisis. Local news outlets are diminishing, creating a gap in transparency regarding power dynamics in the state. This nonprofit news publication aims to illuminate these issues, drive policy changes, and enhance public understanding of state governance.
New York is home to fabulous wealth, with the tenth largest economy in the world, but also has the highest rate of wealth inequality.
The number of local news outlets in New York has been nearly slashed in half over the last two decades, allowing elected officials to operate in the dark.
New York's only statewide nonprofit news publication scrutinizes how power works in the state and reveals how obscure decisions shape ordinary New Yorkers' lives.
The mission is to make sense of contradictions like diversity amidst segregation, ambitious climate laws that are not being met.
