LAUNCHED IN APRIL 2019 AS A NONPROFIT, NONPARTISAN, DIGITAL NEWS PLATFORM DEDICATED TO HARD-HITTING REPORTING THAT SERVES THE PEOPLE OF NEW YORK. false true 3259670 CITY REPORT, INC. (THE CITY) WAS INCORPORATED IN FEBRUARY 2018 AND LAUNCHED IN APRIL 2019 AS AN INDEPENDENT, NONPROFIT, DIGITAL NEWS PLATFORM DEDICATED TO HARD-HITTING REPORTING THAT SERVES THE PEOPLE OF NEW YORK, PRODUCING CONSISTENT, HIGH-QUALITY AND HIGH-IMPACT ACCOUNTABILITY REPORTING. OUR WORK IS FREE TO ALL AND DOES NOT REQUIRE A SUBSCRIPTION. INSTEAD OF CHARGING FOR ACCESS, WE RELY ON THE SUPPORT OF MEMBERS, DONORS AND SPONSORS. LOCAL REPORTING IS THE CRITICAL LINK BETWEEN THE POLICIES, SPENDING AND OTHER ACTIONS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT, THE PRIVATE SECTOR AND CITIZENS. WITHOUT THIS REPORTING, ACCOUNTABILITY DISAPPEARS, CITIZENS DISCONNECT AND DEMOCRACY FAILS. THE CITY WAS FOUNDED TO RESPOND TO THE CRISIS IN LOCAL NEWS ACROSS THE FIVE BOROUGHS. THE CLOSURE OF MULTIPLE LOCAL NEWS PLATFORMS COMBINED WITH THE DRAMATIC DOWNSIZING OF MANY OTHER REPORTING TEAMS HAS HAD A CATASTROPHIC IMPACT ON BROAD, CONSISTENT REPORTING ON LOCAL AFFAIRS IN THE NATION'S LARGEST CITY. AT A TIME WHEN NEW YORK CITY'S POPULATION (9 MILLION) AND BUDGET ($95 BILLION) ARE LARGER THAN EVER, THE NUMBER OF LOCAL REPORTERS HAS PLUMMETED. LOCAL REPORTING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER FOR NEW YORK CITY AS IT FACES THE DAUNTING CHALLENGES OF RECOVERY FROM THE CORONAVIRUS CRISIS, POLICE-COMMUNITY TENSIONS AND THE NOVEMBER 2021 ELECTIONS WHICH WILL FILL NEARLY EVERY MAJOR CITY AND BOROUGH OFFICE. NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK IS NEW YORK'S MOST IMPORTANT PRIORITY OR PRESSING NEED, IT WILL NOT BE FULLY OR EFFECTIVELY ADDRESSED WITHOUT LOCAL REPORTING. WITH 2000+ STORIES NOW UNDER THEIR BELT, THE CITY'S DIVERSE TEAM OF 20 JOURNALISTS ARE IN ALL FIVE BOROUGHS DELIVERING ESSENTIAL REPORTING AND INFORMATION AND HOLDING THE CITY'S LEADERS AND INSTITUTIONS TO ACCOUNT WHERE THEY ARE FAILING TO DELIVER. THE CITY'S TEAM IS REPORTING ACROSS A WIDE RANGE OF TOPICS INCLUDING ECONOMY, JUSTICE, PUBLIC SAFETY, TRANSPORTATION, HEALTH, HOUSING, EDUCATION, POLITICS, GOVERNMENT AND ENVIRONMENT. THE CITY'S DATA REPORTING TEAM DEVELOPED ONE OF NEW YORK'S MOST FOLLOWED CORONAVIRUS TRACKERS WHICH ALSO SERVES AS A CORE RESOURCE FOR EXTENSIVE REPORTING ON THE IMPACT OF THE CORONAVIRUS CRISIS. RAPID AUDIENCE GROWTH IS EVIDENCE OF THE CITY'S EMERGENCE AS THE GO-TO ESSENTIAL SOURCE OF REPORTING ON THE IMPACT OF THE CRISIS AND CRITICAL INFORMATION FOR NEW YORKERS. THE CITY DRIVES ENGAGEMENT WITH NEW YORKERS THROUGH BOTH PHYSICAL AND VIRTUAL PROGRAMS INCLUDING ITS INNOVATIVE OPEN NEWSROOM, NEWSLETTERS AND SURVEYS. THE CITY IS ALSO A RESOURCE AND PARTNER TO OTHER NEWS ORGANIZATIONS, COLLABORATING TO JOINTLY PRODUCE HIGH-QUALITY ACCOUNTABILITY REPORTING, AND ENCOURAGING REPUBLICATION AND REUSE OF OUR STORIES THROUGHOUT THE BROADER NONPROFIT AND FOR-PROFIT NEWS MEDIA ECOSYSTEM. THE CITY RECEIVED EXTRAORDINARY LAUNCH SUPPORT FROM LEAD FOUNDING DONORS. THE CITY'S EDITORIAL TEAM IS SUPPORTED BY A FIRST RATE TEAM OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION-FOCUSED COLLEAGUES WHO HAVE ESTABLISHED A WORLD-CLASS, TECHNOLOGY-ENABLED MEDIA COMPANY FOUNDATION THAT PROPELS AND AMPLIFIES THE IMPACT OF THE CITY'S WORK. 3259670 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 20 0 27 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 15 15 false false false false false false false true true false false false true true true false false true true false NY X X LAURA OSORIO 9176710404 35 WEST 31ST STREET 4TH FLOOR NEW YORK NY 10001 JEREMIAH HESTER EDITOR IN CHIEF 40.0 0.0 X 240757 0 57384 JOHN WOTOWICZ PUBLISHER 40.0 0.0 X 275000 0 0 ALYSSA KATZ DEPUTY EDITOR 40.0 0.0 X 151739 0 55863 HASANI GITTENS DEPUTY DIRECTOR 40.0 0.0 X 162599 0 16100 Jamie Lynton Chair 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Sarah Bartlett Vice chair 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 ELIZABETH MCNAMARA SECRETARY 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Darlene Jean Treasurer 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 GARY GINSBURG Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 JOHN THORNTON BOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 JON STEINBERG BOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 LUIS MIRANDA BOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 MARK COLODNY BOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 MARK WINSTON GRIFFITH BOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 MILENA ALBERTII-PEREZ BOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 RACHEL LAM BOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 RICHARD RAVITCH BOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 ROB SPEYER BOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 CRAIG NEWMARK Board member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 830095 0 129347 4 false true false VOX MEDIA 1201 CONNECTICUT AVE NW 11TH FLOOR WASHINGTON DC 20036 Media 135000 1 453669 4875038 5328707 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5328707 0 0 0 0 573141 298141 206251 68749 0 2356258 2067265 138998 149995 66853 53466 8139 5248 331583 263464 41416 26703 202768 166511 22044 14213 0 54203 54203 95280 95280 0 0 0 268536 87403 150180 30953 39702 39702 45269 25852 18534 883 221312 185112 28851 7349 0 124185 107649 8639 7897 4398 4398 0 1561 409 934 218 0 0 0 21349 21349 4406398 3259670 794818 351910 615883 2805070 0 0 2289837 1501558 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 11255 16592 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2916975 4323220 239698 266134 0 0 0 457500 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 239698 723634 X 102167 2598029 2575110 1001557 2677277 3599586 2916975 4323220 922309 X false true X true false X 0 0 0 5264064 5328707 10592771 0 0 0 0 0 5264064 5328707 10592771 8172692 2420079 0 0 0 10592771 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 5342565 13858 13858 5328707 5328707 4420256 13858 13858 4406398 4406398 X X false false false false false false false false false JEREMIAH HESTER EDITOR IN CHIEF 240757 0 0 0 0 0 8012 0 49372 0 298141 0 JOHN WOTOWICZ PUBLISHER 275000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 275000 0 ALYSSA KATZ DEPUTY EDITOR 151739 0 0 0 0 0 6399 0 49464 0 207602 0 HASANI GITTENS DEPUTY DIRECTOR 162599 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 16100 0 178699 0 FORM 990, PART III, Line 3 The City moved to an all remote newsroom, conducting planning and editing functions over video conference, slack, and via google docs.
