"Since that time, our reporters and editors have been vigorously scrutinizing every facet of the Empire State's criminal justice institutions, investigating power players and the impact of policy on state prisons, county jails, and local police and courts - always with an eye toward what it means for people involved in the system. That system works hard to make those people invisible, and it shields those at the top from scrutiny."
"Only a handful of journalists do this type of work in New York. In the last decades, the number of local news outlets in the state has nearly halved, making our coverage all the more critical. Our criminal justice reporting has been cited in lawsuits, spurred legislation, and led to the rescission of statewide policies. With your help, we can continue to do this work, and go even deeper:"
New York's criminal-legal system often hides individuals and shields powerful actors from scrutiny. Rigorous, resource-intensive investigative journalism exposes abuses and reduces impunity. Local news outlets in the state have nearly halved over recent decades, increasing the need for sustained reporting. Investigative criminal justice coverage has been cited in lawsuits, spurred legislation, and led to the rescission of statewide policies. Continued, deeper investigations require funding and support for small, nonprofit newsrooms. Public contributions enable one-time or monthly gifts that sustain long-term accountability reporting toward a more just, transparent New York.
