We’re gonna bug all the NYC mayoral candidates about housing. What should we ask?
More candidates are jumping in the 2025 race to challenge Mayor Eric Adams, who is facing federal corruption charges. City Limits will ask those running for their positions and plans on key housing issues—and we want to know what you want to know. bit.ly/48rgJnE

I swear, journalism has a rebound shot right now.
AI is creating a world of uncertain info. If newsrooms can double down on transparency and community connection, journalism can once again be seen as essential to verifiable information.
Bc hallucinations & disinfo is wilding.

Reporters, a bit of advice on something I learned the hard way: Don’t let anyone tell you something isn’t a story when you know it is.
I’ve fallen into this trap. Years later, I still regret not telling stories I should have.

The city saw more sewer backups last year, what the the DEP attributed to more rain.
The numbers are pretty stark: the five boroughs were doused in 61.3 inches of rainfall in fiscal year 2024, compared to 39.9 inches the year before 🌧️🌧️🌧️
