When the ground began to tremble in the New York region last week from a 4.8-magnitude earthquake, our dedicated team sprang into action, delivering non-stop local updates and the in-depth reporting you expect from us.
Here’s a snapshot of the crucial stories we brought to your attention:
Our lead report: An all-encompassing report on the post-quake situation, including transit, schools, and property damage- keeping you in the know.
Behind the scenes: We probed why the city’s emergency alert took a while to reach you and provided some handy public guidance.
Because Gothamist focuses on bringing you news and information that impacts life in communities across our region, we can help answer the question: what’s happening in my neighborhood?
Now, let’s talk brass tacks: Quality journalism needs solid backing. In the past few years, there’s been a seismic shift (pardon the pun) in media organizations’ economic and funding models. As a result, many newsrooms have shut down altogether.
What sets us apart is our reliance on you—our readers. Your generosity is not just a donation; it's a crucial part of our mission to keep our reporting free and open to all. That’s why you don’t see pesky notifications requiring you to be a paid subscriber to read the news on Gothamist.
As we near the close of our spring fundraiser, your support is more crucial than ever. We’re just 214 donors away from our target. Could you be one of them?
