We’re here to make your business stand out in meaningful ways and build lasting connections with our engaged audience. Together, we can elevate your brand and amplify your impact across New York State. Let’s get started!

Our Story and Mission

“Informed NY” was founded to shine a light on the real stories shaping New York—spotlighting the good, exposing the bad, and never shying away from the ugly truths. Even after a year of inactivity following founder Lisa O’Keefe’s foray into politics, our platform remains highly influential, with over 100,000 visitors and more than 480,000 page views over the past 12 months.

Now, we’re back with even bigger plans: interactive programming featuring dynamic Q&A sessions, real-time audience engagement, and a showcase of trusted sponsor brands. Your logo could be on every screen, seen by thousands as they tune in for debates, interviews, and groundbreaking stories.
