About Us

The Examiner News is a home for independent local journalism, analysis, and commentary.

Since 2007, we’ve built a reputation as a vital source for thoughtful, community-driven reporting in Westchester, Putnam, and beyond. While we ended our print edition in early 2025, our commitment to impactful journalism remains the same.

Today, our work is built around Examiner+, our flagship newsletter. Each edition features original reporting, insights, and analysis — available in a free version for all subscribers and a premium edition with exclusive content for Examiner+ members.

Stone’s Throw, our publisher Adam Stone’s award-winning column, offers deeper dives into meaningful topics, available with special access for Examiner+ members.

Beyond the newsletter, our website offers a mix of investigative stories, data-driven examinations of local issues, and contributions from experienced journalists.

We also help produce Sick Care, an upcoming podcast exploring the failures of the corporate healthcare system and the forces shaping it, from a local and national perspective.

Through these platforms, The Examiner News continues to evolve, always committed to delivering journalism that informs, engages, and sparks conversation.

Thanks for being part of the journey.
