Our post-election news commitment

Your support fuels our independent newsroom Dear Reader, The WNYC and Gothamist newsroom has spent months preparing for this week of news coverage. As Editor in Chief, I’m proud to lead a dedicated team of journalists who have spent countless hours poring over campaign finance reports and pinning down candidates on issues that matter to you. Ensuring that voters have accurate information about decisions they make at the ballot box is the highest calling for journalists – and so too is making sense of the results after Election Day. That includes explaining the impact of local races and propositions that will change how we live right here in the New York City metro region. [This sort of coverage is critical.]( It is also expensive to produce, which is why we so dearly value your support. While other news outlets pad their budgets by selling campaign ads, WNYC and Gothamist are fiercely independent. That means we don’t cater to special interests or the deepest campaign coffers. We only prioritize giving you what you need to make informed decisions. Also, unlike other media, we’ve never confused fact-based journalism with opinion, and we have never made endorsements in races. [I Support an Independent Press]( Readers and listeners are by FAR the largest source of financial support for our newsroom, enabling us to bring you both local information as well as news from our trusted partners like NPR and the BBC. At a time when the noise is so loud, [we rely on you]( to help fund our efforts to bring it down, to make sense of what is happening both locally, across the country, and in the world. [Can we count on your support to provide this essential service?]( We do this work every day to help you find fact-based news in a world with too little of it. Thank you for supporting us. [Audrey Cooper] Warmly, Audrey Cooper Editor in Chief P.S. Tune in to WNYC tonight at 8:00 pm for our final “America, Are We Ready” program. Brian Lehrer will bring experts and listeners from around the country together as we make sense of Tuesday’s results.
