Dear Subscriber,
We published many stories this year that had a big impact on our readers. The following are the most recent stories, series and guides that we're most proud of:
* We provided our readers with a voter's guide to the judicial candidates on the ballot.
* We published video interviews with Curtis Sliwa and Eric Adams on their homelesness platforms, a follow up to our Family Homelesness Video Voter's Guide from the primary election.
* We had a team of reporters out at the polls providing live updates through Election Day, including a team of student reporters from the CUNY Newmark Graduate School of Journalism's bilingual news program who, under the guidance of our Spanish-Language Reporter/Editor, provided dispatches from the polls in Spanish.
* We started Zoned Out, one of our most exciting recent editorial initiatives in which we're investigating the on-the-ground impact of the city's neighborhoods rezonings passed earlier in de Blasio's tenure: 1) We produced an excellent piece on the Jerome Avenue rezoning in The Bronx, which found that the city has failed to distribute any of the $1.5 million it promised to dole out to automotive businesses in the rezoning area to help them relocate as the neighborhood shifts to residential/development uses. 2) We produced another story which found that the East New York Rezoning, passed in 2016, has so far failed to create any new jobs in the neighborhood's Industrial Business Zone (IBZ), despite the city's initial promises that it would help spur some 3,900 local jobs.
* We have covered healthcare focused issues, including reporting on the mental health and opioid crises.
* We continued to produce regular and in-depth coverage of issues impacting older New Yorkers for our Age Justice series.
These are just a few examples of the kind of reporting you've come to expect from us. Reporting that dives deep into issues and holds our leaders accountable. Reporting that would not be possible without the support of our readers because it costs thousands of dollars and countless hours of our time to produce.
We put everything we've got into all of our stories because they need to be told. But none of it matters unless people like you stand up for journalism that puts facts first.
Now through Dec. 31st, NewsMatch will match your new monthly donation 12 times or double your one-time gift, up to $1,000. This is a big deal for us and will help sustain our journalism through 2022 and beyond.
