POLITICO New York is a leading digital news organization specializing in political and policy journalism, serving as a vital source of information for professionals, policymakers, and politically engaged readers across New York State. As part of the broader POLITICO network—founded in 2007 by American banker Robert Allbritton—POLITICO New York was launched to provide in-depth, nonpartisan coverage of state politics, government, and policy developments, mirroring the parent company’s mission of delivering authoritative, fast-paced, and engaging journalism. Since its inception, POLITICO New York has distinguished itself by breaking major stories, offering real-time analysis, and producing investigative series that shape public discourse. The outlet covers a wide range of topics, including state legislation, gubernatorial politics, lobbying, and the intersection of technology and government. Its reporting is known for its sophistication, speed, and relevance to both business and technology sectors, making it a go-to resource for professionals seeking to understand how policy decisions impact industries and innovation. A key achievement of POLITICO New York is its role in expanding the reach of nonpartisan political journalism beyond Washington, D.C., into state capitals, where critical decisions affecting business and technology are made. The organization has consistently broken scoops and driven coverage of major political shifts, earning a reputation for accountability and influence. In 2021, POLITICO, including its New York operations, was acquired by Axel Springer SE, a German media giant, for over $1 billion. This acquisition has further strengthened POLITICO New York’s resources and global perspective, while maintaining its commitment to independent, high-quality journalism. Today, POLITICO New York remains a dynamic force in political reporting, blending traditional journalism with digital innovation to inform and engage its audience in an ever-evolving media landscape.
