This is What New Yorkers Say

A five-part series examining the shift in media coverage on former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. Starting in 2020 when he was initially praised for his response to the COVID-19 pandemic, through his resignation in 2021 amidst sexual harassment allegations, and all the legal battles that took place in the following years.  

The series further explores the public perception of these events through conversations with New Yorkers where they discuss their thoughts on Cuomo and share their criticisms on the media and the Democratic Party’s handling of these events. New Yorkers also weigh in on the role of the Me Too movement in empowering women and how much work still needs to be done in our society.
