In the depths of the Jackson Heights subway station, a cultural center emerges buff.ly/3A5Gzkg

LOVING this segment about Los Herederos using space from the MTA in Queens! The music, the interviews, everything about this segment IS NYC. Love it. Arun Venugopal on the mic, OF COURSE!!! I heard it on WNYC 🎙 // Gothamist #JacksonHeights #LHRadio gothamist.com/news/in-the-de…

SAJA statement on former President Trump's remarks about Vice President Harris's heritage. #factcheck

"No one ever asked how she came to be pregnant inside a women’s-only jail." Incredible investigation by Jessy Edwards @gothamist into a correction officer at Rikers who used a pseudonym as he allegedly sexually assaulted at least 24 detainees for years. gothamist.com/news/he-was-of…

Mayor Adams said he "can’t" say if Rikers has a culture of sexual abuse, despite 700+ lawsuits alleging sexual assault by jail staff. He said the allegations are from “decades ago.” But at least 30 people allege they were assaulted in the last 5 years. gothamist.com/news/mayor-ada…

This account of how Tim Walz apologized for the arrest of a CNN journalist in 2020 is... not what I've come to expect of governors. "I take full responsibility," Walz said, before addressing the press as a whole: "I failed you last night." cjr.org/the_media_toda…

Mayor Adams joins NYC’s India Day Parade controversy over float buff.ly/3SN5lfk

From Arun Venugopal 's utterly fascinating controversy of a parade float offensive to Muslims: "Assemblymember Jenifer Rajkumar, a Democrat from Queens who is Hindu and frequently advocates on matters related to the faith, did not respond to questions" gothamist.com/news/mayor-ada…

When asked about a controversial Hindu float at the India Day Parade Mayor Eric Adams said "there's no room for hate," and that he hadn't been invited. But organizers say yes, he certainly was. Either he didn't get it, or he's distancing himself from the parade. gothamist.com/news/mayor-ada…

Alvin and Squeegee men: The Squeegquel (2024)

Last year, THE CITY revealed how thousands of rent regulated apartments were disappearing from state rolls, and sometimes being converted to market rate without approval. Now, a law inspired by our reporting is forcing a sharp increase in compliance thecity.nyc/2024/08/16/ren…

Mayor Eric Adams is on the Reset radio show in his first interview since the NYT reported on new subpoenas in the federal investigation into his campaign. The first question from JR Giddings, a host who often praises the mayor, is about Back to School and phones in classes.

I spoke to ex-federal prosecutors —including Carrie Cohen, who worked on high profile public corruption cases at SDNY —and political strategists about what the subpoenas mean for Mayor Adams’ legal and political future. gothamist.com/news/mayor-eri…

Some heartbreaking stories here from New York Daily News reporters who are struggling to pay bills and haven’t gotten a raise in years. These reporters care about every single person in this city. When will the city start caring about them? When will Alden realize how insane this is?

Proud to announce this new milestone in our campaign to make the Newmark J-School tuition-free by the end of 2026: more than 2/3 of the Class of 2025 will attend on full scholarships! journalism.cuny.edu/2024/08/a-new-…

Here are what the final moments of WCBS 880 sounded like as ESPN New York takes over the signal:

Me and my colleagues at Gothamist & @wnyc spent the last 10 months poring over 100s of lawsuits filed last year by women who say they were sexually assaulted by city employees while they were held at Rikers Island. My final story is out today. This is what we found, a 🧵:
