("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 Charles H. Revson Foundation, Leon Levy Foundation and Craig Newmark Philanthropies and its distinguished board. 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. 1883777 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 true false false false false false false false false true 11 0 25 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 17 17 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false true true false NY X LAURA OSORIO 9176710404 35 WEST 31ST STREET 4TH FLOOR NEW YORK NY 10001 John Wotowicz Publisher 40.0 0.0 X 225000 0 9350 Jeremiah Hester Editor in Chief 40.0 0.0 X 187500 0 36123 Alyssa Katz Deputy Editor 40.0 0.0 X 121387 0 31948 Hasani Gittens Deputy Editor 40.0 0.0 X 120000 0 16026 Ben Smith Chair 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Sarah Bartlett Vice Chair 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Darlene Jean Treasurer 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Elizabeth Mcnamara Secretary 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Mark Winston Griffith Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Gary Ginsberg Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Luis Miranda Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Craig Newmark Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Richard Ravitch Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Jon Steinberg Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Rob Speyer Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Mark Colodny Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Rachel Lam Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 John Thornton Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Milena Alberti-Perez Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Marsha Cooke Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Jamie Lynton Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 653887 0 93447 4 false true false 0 10100 5253964 28245 5264064 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5264064 0 0 0 0 457973 457973 0 1244874 935956 237562 71356 51349 36630 11544 3175 160716 126757 26632 7327 110475 89594 16376 4505 0 57621 57621 43973 43973 0 0 0 137150 21815 93221 22114 27673 27673 67620 35433 31120 1067 79415 67540 7295 4580 0 119496 107090 9133 3273 10587 3848 5560 1179 0 14507 1141 9710 3656 0 0 0 1594 1594 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 1764 1764 2586787 1883777 553105 149905 0 615883 0 0 0 2289837 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 11255 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2916975 0 239698 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 239698 X 0 102167 0 2575110 0 2677277 0 2916975 2677277 X false true X true false X 0 0 0 0 5264064 5264064 0 0 0 0 0 0 5264064 5264064 4454194 809870 0 0 0 5264064 X 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 5281650 17586 17586 5264064 5264064 2604373 17586 17586 2586787 2586787 X X false false false false false false false false false John Wotowicz Publisher 225000 9350 234350 Jeremiah Hester Editor in Chief 187500 9597 26526 223623 Alyssa Katz Deputy Editor 121387 5320 26628 153335 X Furniture and Equipment 1 28245 FMV false true false Schedule M, Part I, Column (B) The organization is reporting the number of contributors.
