onNYTurf.com is NYC region news site. Developed as a personal project, it became a testing ground for exploring political action and online technologies. At its peak it had a readership of about 400 people a day, and I had forged partnerships with local community groups to develop several special online projects. onNYTurf's stories and special projects frequently received coverage by other local media outlets, including the NYTimes, Observer, New Yorker, and WBAI.

onNYTurf was launched in 2005 when there were few local blogs and a lack of decent local news coverage in NYC. onNYTurf.com has been mostly dormant since mid 2008 when I ran out of time to report on local news stories. Additionally, since its inception the grassroots news/local blog scene in NYC exploded and most of the original reporting I was doing has been picked up by other publishers.
