That definitely sets us apart from today’s gaggle of influencers. It’s also what makes our journalism influential. When we investigated workers being cheated out of tips at the Brooklyn Cyclones’ ballpark, their bosses admitted wrongdoing and started making back payments. When we reported on an African-American burial ground that had been turned into a parking lot in Queens, the entire cohort of Queens politicians demanded the city convert it into a landmark and create a memorial. When you’re looking for information you can trust and news you can actually use, The City Reporter delivers. If you value that work, I hope you’ll make a gift today. We’re a nonprofit, and your generosity is the only way we can keep reporting – and having the kind of impact that makes New York a better place.
