OTHER OUTLETS SERVE UP A DAILY DRUMBEAT OF CRIME STORIES AND CITY HALL PRESS RELEASES. THERE ARE PLENTY OF STORIES ABOUT THE WEALTHIEST ZIP CODES, AND IT'S NOT HARD TO FIND PARTISAN COVERAGE OF LOCAL ISSUES PLAYING TO A NATIONAL AUDIENCE. WE BELIEVE NEW YORK CITY DESERVES BETTER. AT THE CITY WE ARE DEDICATED TO RIGOROUS ACCOUNTABILITY REPORTING WITH A FOCUS ON SYSTEMIC ISSUES, THE REAL-WORLD IMPACT OF POLICY CHOICES AND THE CONDUCT OF THOSE WHO EXERCISE POWER. BUT WE DON'T JUST REVEAL WRONGDOING. WE WANT EVERYONE TO BE EMPOWERED BY OUR JOURNALISM. THAT'S WHY WE INVEST IN REPORTING THAT IS ACTIVELY HELPFUL, OFFERING BOTH PLAIN-LANGUAGE GUIDES AND DATA-DRIVEN APPS THAT MAKE IT EASIER TO VOTE, ACCESS PUBLIC SERVICES, OR JUST MAKE SENSE OF COMPLEX ISSUES. AND WE LISTEN, ASKING COMMUNITIES ONLINE AND IN PERSON TO HELP GUIDE OUR JOURNALISM BY FLAGGING THEIR CONCERNS, GIVING US FEEDBACK, AND SHARING IDEAS. OUR IMPACT WE WANT OUR JOURNALISM TO RESULT IN BETTER OUTCOMES FOR THE PEOPLE OF NEW YORK. THAT MEANS WRONGDOING IS CALLED OUT AND HALTED; THAT BETTER POLICIES ARE IMPLEMENTED; AND THAT RESOURCES ARE MORE EFFECTIVELY AND FAIRLY ALLOCATED. THE CITY'S INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING HAS RESULTED IN CRIMINAL INDICTMENTS, POLITICAL RESIGNATIONS AND ETHICS INQUIRIES. IT HAS INSPIRED NEW LAWS, INFLUENCED BUDGET CHOICES AND REVERSED INJUSTICES. FULL ACCESS TO TRUSTED JOURNALISM ALSO MEANS THAT THE PUBLIC CONVERSATION IS BETTER INFORMED AND MORE REFLECTIVE OF THE EXPERIENCES OF ALL WHO LIVE HERE - AND THAT LEADS TO GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS BEING MORE RESPONSIVE TO THEIR CONSTITUENTS. THE CITY'S STORIES ARE REPUBLISHED FOR FREE BY SCORES OF COMMUNITY OUTLETS AND FREQUENTLY CITED BY ELECTED OFFICIALS, ADVOCATES AND LOCAL LEADERS. FINALLY, OUR WORK AIMS TO HELP INDIVIDUAL READERS MAKE GOOD DECISIONS AND FEEL CONNECTED TO THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS, AND TO NEW YORK. THE CITY'S EXPLANATORY JOURNALISM HAS HELPED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF NEW YORKERS TO VOTE, KEEP THEIR APARTMENTS WARM, STAY SAFE IN DANGEROUS WEATHER, AND ACCESS PUBLIC ASSISTANCE. OUR TEAM THE CITY'S REPORTERS AND EDITORS KNOW NEW YORK CITY AND ARE COMMITTED TO ITS FUTURE. THEY BRING KNOWLEDGE, PASSION AND A DIVERSE RANGE OF EXPERIENCES TO THE TASK OF COVERING OUR SHARED HOME. SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS PROVIDE DEEPLY INFORMED COVERAGE ON CRUCIAL BEATS LIKE HOUSING, THE ECONOMY, CRIMINAL JUSTICE, LABOR, MIGRATION, CLIMATE CHANGE, AND CITY HALL IN COLLABORATION WITH NEIGHBORHOOD SPECIALISTS, DATA REPORTERS AND INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISTS. OUR TEAM INCLUDES VETERANS FROM NEW YORK'S STORIED TABLOIDS AND REPORTERS FROM NATIONAL AND HYPER-LOCAL PUBLICATIONS ALIKE. THEY BRING A WIDE-RANGE OF EXPERIENCE AND A PASSION FOR INNOVATION TO THE TASK OF COVERING NEW YORK IN JOURNALISM'S FAST- CHANGING LANDSCAPE. OUR FUNDING QUALITY JOURNALISM IS EXPENSIVE - AND DIGITAL ADVERTISING JUST ISN'T LUCRATIVE ENOUGH TO PAY FOR IT. BECAUSE WE WANT OUR REPORTING TO BE ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE, WE HAVE NO PAYWALL. INSTEAD, THE CITY IS SUPPORTED BY OUR READERS, INDIVIDUAL DONORS, FOUNDATIONS, AND CORPORATE SPONSORS. WE ARE PROUD OF OUR DONORS AND GRATEFUL FOR THEIR WILLINGNESS TO FUND OUR WORK WITH NO EXPECTATION OF INFLUENCING OUR COVERAGE.
