Civic Square Partners brings together independent nonprofit journalism to inform, engage and strengthen the communities and audiences we serve — and gives advertisers one trusted way to reach them across New York City and State.
Each Civic Square newsroom has built deep trust with its audience through rigorous reporting, public service journalism and community accountability. Together, they cover the city, the state and the communities that make New York run.
The City Reporter is an independent, nonprofit newsroom publishing investigative journalism that holds the powerful to account and explanatory reporting that makes it easier to navigate our complex city.
A multilingual newsroom writing about and serving immigrant New Yorkers in English, Spanish, Chinese and Haitian Creole, and sharing critical information and insights with the people who work with, support, write about and care for them.
We publish on the platforms people use, including WhatsApp in Spanish and WeChat in Chinese.
New York's only statewide nonprofit newsroom that uses accountability-driven and investigative reporting to explain how the state really works. New York Focus serves audiences all over New York, from Niagara Falls to Long Island and everywhere in between.
Better journalism.A stronger democracy.
