New York's criminal justice system operates to keep individuals involved in it invisible and to protect those in power. The decline of local news outlets makes the work of investigative journalism more crucial. One small nonprofit outlet is dedicated to uncovering injustices within this system, highlighting its impact on public policy and individual lives. Their reporting has resulted in legal action and changes in policy, emphasizing the importance of continued public support for independent journalism to promote justice in New York.
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.
