A few words from the website read:
Hell Gate is a website owned and run by journalists covering New York City, featuring a mixture of blog posts, features, columns, and investigations. Our name comes from the city’s sturdiest (and handsomest) bridge over its most treacherous currents.
Ultimately, our goal is to start a subscription-funded, worker-owned company, kind of like Defector Media or Discourse Blog, or Racket, or the Colorado Sun.
We’ll have a lot more to say about this soon. For now, enjoy the free blog posts.
