City & State launching premium newsletter Heard Around Town on Tuesday, May 19th, 2026
New York, NY (May 19, 2026) — City & State, a premier multimedia news outlet that dedicates its coverage to New York’s state and local government, political and advocacy news, is launching an exclusive paid newsletter: Heard Around Town.
While City & State’s popular free newsletters like First Read aggregate the most important political news of the day, Heard Around Town focuses on what’s happening in the world of politics before it’s news.
Heard Around Town will feature exclusive stories, expert analysis hard-to-find public records and filings, fresh staffing moves and the latest whispers flying around the edges of press conferences. For $17 a month, it will be delivered to subscribers twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Publisher/Founder Tom Allon: “On our 20th Anniversary as one of New York State’s political must-reads, we are excited to launch a unique e-newsletter that will provide vital data for elected officials, their staffs and the entire New York state political universe.”
Editor-in-Chief Jeff Coltin is confident readers will “fall in love” with this new newsletter, and News & Opinions Editor Peter Sterne said: “We won’t just tell you what’s happening; we’ll connect the dots to show you what it means and why it matters. When you subscribe to Heard Around Town, you’re paying for our expertise.”
