Support New York Bay News

Independent. Unbought. Unafraid.

New York Bay News is a reader-powered investigative newsroom.
We don’t take government money. We don’t take political money. We don’t answer to corporate owners.
We answer to you — the readers who believe the public deserves truth, transparency, and accountability.

Your support directly fuels:

• Investigations into judicial misconduct and family-court failures
• Coverage of CPS and agency abuse
• Public-records battles and FOIA/FOIL enforcement
• On-the-ground reporting in New York, the Northeast, and national cases with regional impact
• Protection of whistleblowers, vulnerable families, and parents fighting systems built to silence them

We operate on a shoestring. Every contribution helps us uncover the stories the powerful want buried.

Why Your Support Matters

Investigative journalism is expensive — and powerful institutions fight back.
Public records are delayed, denied, and litigated.
Families caught in the system are ignored until someone shines a light.

New York Bay News steps into that silence.

Your support helps us:

• Fund FOIL/FOIA requests and legal review
• Travel to courthouses, hearings, and communities statewide
• Report stories the mainstream press overlooks
• Publish independent, citizen-focused coverage without political influence

This newsroom exists because readers believe New York deserves better.

Thank you for standing with us.
