Local Partnerships Network

As New York’s only nonprofit statewide newsroom, we’re working to help rebuild a local news ecosystem that has faced years of relentless cuts. Local outlets across the state do phenomenal work and are deeply trusted in their communities — but many have less investigative capacity than they once did, and few are able to cover the state capital in depth.

That’s where we come in. We publish rigorous investigative and accountability reporting on statewide issues from climate policy to the prison system to the sprawling state budget. And we provide this reporting at no cost, allowing local news outlets across New York to publish online or in print.

Each week, we provide our stories to a list of more than 50 publishing partners. Some, like the Post-Standard in Syracuse, have seen hundreds of thousands of readers on New York Focus stories they’ve published. Others, like the Daily Star in Oneonta, have received glowing reader reactions. We also regularly co-report stories with partners, offer our reporters for interviews on radio and TV, and co-host events.

Join our network and follow our republishing guidelines to share our reporting with your audiences. Contact Alex Arriaga if you are interested in collaborating.
