Our NYC city news portal was launched 20 years ago by a team of NYT reporters. Since then our online city digest grew to become much bigger. Now we’re a direct competitor with the ABCNewYork and NBCNewYork local news outlets. We employ a total of 100 staff and freelance writers, editors and photography reporters.
Since day 1 our founder, former NYT senior editor Jonathan Lazenby, works hard. He inspires our team to make news insights sharper and our NYC coverage touch all 5 boroughs of the city. With such a task at hand we’re doing pretty good. It’s quite hard actually to cover all the latest and breaking news for such a huge and complex city as New York is. So we’re satisfied with the daily journalist job we all do at the BitNews!
