You CAN’T Miss “Heard Around Town”

If you’re reading this, I know you’re a fan of City & State and First Read.

Almost exactly 20 years ago, in June 2006, a new publication was born in New York City: “City Hall” newspaper published its first monthly issue and quickly became the darling of the whole political world in the five boroughs.

What’s happened in the intervening two decades is nothing short of a miracle: a multimedia company growing by leaps and bounds each year producing new products that are all must-reads and events that are must-attend.

City & State New York, the successor to City Hall, has not only turned into an award-winning weekly political magazine, but we’ve also added three daily e-newsletters: First Read (7 a.m.), First Read Tonight (6 p.m.), Albany Agenda (midday) and a weekly newsletter, NYN First Read, covering the important nonprofit sector in the city.

City & State has become a powerhouse throughout New York state, and has brought its successful model to Pennsylvania and a political news service in Florida. We produce over 60 events each year – from policy summits to Power List showcases to Thought Leader dinners as well as custom events for corporations and advocacy groups alike.

But because we never rest on our laurels, we’re launching another exciting news and insider information product on Tuesday: “Heard Around Town.”

If you like First Read each day, you’re going to LOVE “Heard Around Town.”

Sent to subscriber inboxes on Tuesdays and Fridays, it’ll have the juiciest scoops of the week, the stories behind the story, the latest gossip and whispers, as well as other vital data for elected officials, their staffs and the entire New York state political universe.

An individual subscription is available for $17/month, and we also offer group packages for teams of five or 10 to ensure your entire office stays informed. Heard Around Town will provide need to know insights at a small fraction of the cost of other political e-newsletters. 

If you’ve followed City & State’s growth the past 20 years – or even just a portion of that time –  you know that our award winning journalism team, headed up by the ubiquitous Editor-in-Chief Jeff Coltin, consistently serves up well-reported, well-sourced and well-written stories every single day. That’s why we recently won nine journalism and design awards at the New York Press Association annual awards event.

To commemorate 20 years of excellence in political journalism, we invite you to subscribe to “Heard Around Town” today. Your support ensures the continued growth of our award-winning reporting, allowing us to meet our audience's hunger for accurate and unbiased coverage. 

I hope to see you on our subscriber list by Tuesday, May 19, so you can enjoy “Heard Around Town’s” debut issue.

Thanks as always for your loyalty and support!
