Why we exist
Local journalism is fragmented, pay-walled and, too often, buried beneath push alerts that don’t matter. We surface only the decisions that shape life in the five boroughs—housing, transit, policy, arts and civic life.
How we work
- Curate relentlessly. We scan ~50 reputable NYC sources + public docs.
- Score with data. A home-grown algorithm ranks relevance; editors do a final pass.
- Cite everything. Every brief links to its primary source so you can dive deeper.
Independence
Borough Brief is published by Borough Media, an independent newsroom based in Queens. We accept no political funding and disclose every sponsorship.
