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!

Walter Mondale
Editor
Walter does all the local city politics entries. Being a third cousin to both Andrew Cuomo (NY Governor) and the Mayor de Blasio certainly helps him get some insights.
