The Riverdale Press

The Riverdale Press proves hyperlocal community journalism can exist, even deep inside New York City. Covering a sliver of the Bronx where some 120,000 people live, the Pulitzer Prize-winning Press focuses on a single city-sanctioned community advisory board across several neighborhoods like Riverdale, North Riverdale, Spuyten Duyvil and Marble Hill. A news site and a weekly paper, The Riverdale Press was founded in 1950.

The New York Amsterdam News

The New York Amsterdam News was started in 1909 with a yearning to tell the stories of people of color in New York City, and has grown to become one of the most important Black newspapers in the country. It reported on the fight for equality during the Jim Crow era and the civil rights movement, and with a weekly paper and a robust news site, averaging 500,000 unique visitors a month, The New York Amsterdam News works to continue to magnify the issues that most deeply affect communities of color.

Documented

Documented is a nonprofit news site that addresses the lack of local news for and about New York City’s 3.1 million immigrants. It regularly publishes investigative pieces that have had a widespread impact on local policy. The mission is to ensure that immigrant residents are also readers, and in 2019 they launched a Spanish-language WhatsApp-based news service to better serve Spanish-speaking immigrants.

North Country Public Radio

North Country Public Radio encompasses 34 transmitters and translators that serve a large geographic area—northern New York, western Vermont, southern Ontario and Quebec. NCPR is one of the few organizations that connects and serves the entire region, home to remote mountain hamlets, sparsely populated farming communities, Akwesasne Mohawk towns and tourist meccas. This award-winning news organization seeks to tell the stories and improve the lives of people who are often overlooked by other news outlets.

THE CITY (City Report Inc)

The City, a nonprofit digital news platform, is dedicated to hard-hitting reporting that serves the people of New York City, and produces strong people-centered stories that are anchored by data and present policy issues in a clear and accessible form. This news organization was created to address the growing local news gap: crucial city agencies, neighborhoods home to millions of New Yorkers, and some of the most important institutions have been the subject of declining news coverage, or none at all.

Megan Zerez

Megan Zerez reports on education for WSKG, an NPR affiliate station in Binghamton, New York. In 2021, she earned her degree from The Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. Zerez has interned with WNYC public radio and has written for The City, a nonprofit news site. She grew up in Honolulu and before she was a reporter, Zerez was a researcher in a bioengineering lab. But when ongoing nationwide protests in South Africa disrupted her work there, she began to record interviews and document clashes with police, and later realized that journalism was for her. That realization led to an internship at KERA, Dallas’ NPR station, where her story on refugees won statewide recognition. Zerez wrote an investigative series on alleged sexual harassment and labor law violations by a major university contractor for The Mercury, the student paper at the University of Texas at Dallas. Her work earned her honors from the Society of Professional Journalists.
