Holding New York Accountable.

NYWatch’s mission is to serve as an independent watchdog over New York State and local government by exposing corruption, uncovering misconduct, and demanding transparency and accountability in public institutions. Through investigative research, public-records requests, and fact-based reporting, NYWatch empowers New Yorkers with verified information about how government power is exercised and how public resources are used. We exist to protect the public trust, deter abuse of authority, and ensure government in New York works lawfully, ethically, and in the best interests of the people it serves.
