On this edition of 219West we discuss the impact of voting and the record number of Americans who cast ballots in this year’s presidential election. Plus, how the formerly incarcerated are reclaiming their right to vote. And, how one performing artist is weathering the pandemic.

The Value of the Vote

219West, once the home of the fabled New York Herald-Tribune, is now the address of the CUNY's Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism. From their home base on 40th Street, just off Times Square in the heart of New York City, our student reporters fan out to neighborhoods across the city, in all five boroughs, to provide in-depth coverage of stories frequently overlooked or ignored by mainstream media. 219West looks at the people and the issues that move and shake our city’s communities -- stories that often fly under the radar --- and gives them air on CUNY-TV.
