New Year. New Site. Same Mission:

Over its nearly 44 years, City Limits has taken many forms—magazine, fax weekly, email newsletter, website, print bulletin, podcast. Visit our homepage ([link removed][UNIQID]) today and you'll see our latest look: a newly designed website intended to make it easier for readers to navigate our many offerings and to engage with us in discussing how to get to the kind of city we all deserve.

What hasn't changed over those four-plus decades is City Limits' mission ([link removed][UNIQID]) , which is using investigative journalism through the prism of New York City to identify urban problems, examine their causes, explore solutions, and equip communities to take action. City Limits exists to inform democracy. Readers like you are our partners in that work.

The website is really important, but the stories are what matters most. Take a minute today to cruise around our snazzy new site ([link removed][UNIQID]) . Then take another to tell me (mailto:[email protected]?subject=story%20idea) what stories you want to see there.

- Jarrett Murphy, executive editor
