Sean Kirst speaking at 2025 spring launch party

People interested in the future of CNY read Central Current. Our readers and reporters love this region but understand it is facing historically large challenges.

Thanks to your support, Central Current is reaching more readers than ever before. At a time when most newsrooms are laying off staff, our team is steadily growing.

Just this year, our award-winning reporting staff has published a broad range of in-depth investigations highlighting:

  • The ways in which Onondaga County government is accumulating the resources to support the aquarium and Micron projects.
  • How local surveillance policies and contracts are impacting the privacy of Syracuse residents.
  • How changes in city and state housing law could impact tens of thousands of renters and landlords.

We will also be celebrating the one year anniversary of welcoming Sean Kirst back to Syracuse and reflecting on the roughly 80 columns he has published in that time.

Central New York’s success depends on all of us having the best possible information along with the knowledge that we’re in this together. That’s what Central Current provides to everyone – free of charge.

Join us on Wednesday, May 6th from 4:30 – 6:30 pm at Salt City Bar & Coffee on Salina St. where you can:

  • Ask our staff your questions
  • Meet other Central Current readers
  • Celebrate the launch of our 2026 Spring Campaign

RSVP today to secure your spot, and feel free to bring a friend. We look forward to seeing you there!
