As part of the partnership, City & State columnists will appear on WPIX’s newscasts and “PIX11 News Closeup,” a political affairs show hosted by Marvin Scott. The two organizations will also work together on long-form investigative pieces.

“The collaboration between PIX11 and City & State, two iconic New York news institutions, could not be coming at a better time…it has never been more important for our viewers to know the impact of politics and policy on their lives and the lives of their families,” WPIX vice president of news Mark Effron said in a statement.
