    New York Is, Of Course, The Great American News City

    The results of our poll to find America's best city for journalism, story-wise, are in. Chicago surged into second place thanks to a characteristic ballot-stuffing campaign, but in the end, good sense prevailed. Full results below!

    [Note: Results are from 1592 total votes in two polls; we started a new poll after we added Miami and New Orleans to the list. This placed Miami and New Orleans at a disadvantage, so they can claim moral victory. Although they wouldn't have won anyhow. Results rounded to nearest percentage point.]


    New York: 32%
    Chicago: 16%
    Washington, DC: 16%
    Detroit: 9%
    Los Angeles: 6%
    New Orleans: 6%
    San Francisco: 5%
    Boston: 5%
    Las Vegas: 2%
    Miami: 3%
