About New York Bay News
New York Bay News is an independent, reader-powered investigative newsroom covering the stories that shape New York and the broader Northeast. From the five boroughs to the Hudson Valley, from Albany to Buffalo, and across New Jersey, Connecticut, and New England, we follow the waves of truth wherever they break.
Our mission is simple: hold power accountable — without fear, favor, or political loyalty.
We investigate the kinds of stories traditional outlets overlook: judicial misconduct, family-court failures, CPS and agency abuse, law-enforcement excesses, government transparency battles, regional corruption, and the lived experiences of ordinary people navigating systems built to overwhelm them.
Anchored in New York but built for the entire Northeast, we report across:
- New York City & Metro Area (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Staten Island, Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Rockland)
- Hudson Valley & Capital Region (Orange, Dutchess, Ulster, Putnam, Albany, Saratoga, Rensselaer, Schenectady)
- Central & Western New York (Rochester, Syracuse, Buffalo)
- North Country (Clinton, Franklin, St. Lawrence, Jefferson)
- Tri-State Region (New Jersey & Connecticut)
- New England Desk (Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine — select coverage)
New York Bay News is part of the Bay News Network, a growing coalition of state-based investigative sites dedicated to exposing government failures, elevating local voices, and bringing transparency to systems that resist it. Our editorial stance is straightforward: truth first, integrity always, and journalism with backbone.
We welcome tips, documents, whistleblower information, and personal accounts from across the region. If you have something we should look into — whether a court case, a government action, or a story of injustice — reach out to us securely on Signal at 240.428.0202.
Where Liberty rides the wave of truth.
This is New York Bay News.
