Dear Reader,  Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes in a New York City newsroom? This is your chance to find out! Are you curious about how reporters talk with anonymous sources? Or what a FOIL request is? Or how editors decide what to investigate? Or something else entirely?  Go ahead and ask! All you need to do is submit your questions here.  As Associate Editor of Explanatory & Service Journalism here at THE CITY, I love hearing what our readers are most curious about. I like to demystify obscure but important issues, write guides on how to navigate everyday yet complex problems, and even teach readers “how to New York” like a journalist. So today I’m excited to put a twist on it. Tell me what you want to know about the inner workings of our award-winning, nonprofit newsroom. Then in a few weeks, I’ll send out another email answering some of the most interesting, funny, and/or strange questions you send.  Stay tuned! Rachel Holliday Smith Associate Editor, Explanatory & Service Journalism, THE CITY P.S. We’re so grateful for everyone’s generosity during Giving Tuesday earlier this week.
