The Truth is Local brings stories from The New York Times to life on the streets of all five boroughs, showing its commitment to covering its hometown. Local Projects produced a series of journalism installations housed in storefronts throughout the five boroughs in response to extraordinary New York Times stories from across New York City. These storefronts demonstrate the New York Times commitment to local stories, covering issues that have affected New Yorkers for nearly 160 years. Visitors to all the installations can immerse themselves in the stories by using their phones to scan a QR code to access audio clips featuring the journalists’ reporting journeys.
