Contributing Any Amount to help keep great local journalism alive and well in Queens.
We are the borough’s only daily print newspaper, and we report exclusive, groundbreaking and in-depth stories every day.
In the past year, we have broken news on the impact of the coronavirus on local hospitals and courts, among medical workers, on tenants and landlords and in the city, state and federal jails. Our reporting spurred state Attorney General Letitia James to probe the COVID response at the Queens Detention Facility in Springfield Gardens — New York City’s lone private jail. The jail and its owner, GEO Group, largely avoided media attention until we began investigating in March.
We have become the city and the state’s go-to source for Queens political coverage. Look no further than our recent reporting on a local political club’s maskless dance party, and the resulting hospitalizations.
We have produced viral stories shared by celebrities, leaders and everyday people around the globe.
And we have covered the Queens District Attorney’s Office and the criminal and civil court systems fairly and without favor, highlighting the stories that larger news outlets ignore — because they too often ignore Queens.
In June, we entered into a partnership with NY1 to bring our coverage to a larger audience. Download the Spectrum News app to see some of our articles, mingled with reporting by NY1 and some of New York City’s other top-notch outlets.
We couldn’t have done any of it without you, our readers.
Help keep us around for years to come by making a sustaining contribution.
