About

Welcome to It's Our City!

Funded by The William Penn Foundation, It's Our City is a multi-platform civic engagement project produced at WHYY in partnership with The Philadelphia Daily News designed to explore the issues most important to the residents of the greater Philadelphia region. A follow up to the successful WHYY/Daily News collaboration, The Next Mayor (which focused on the issues of the 2007 Philadelphia mayoral race), It's Our City will elevate the accountability of local government through the illumination of their inner workings.


WHYY's award-winning reporters continue to provide regular, ongoing coverage of Philadelphia city government for WHYY 91FM while a team of web producers dedicated to the It's Our City project engage in in-depth multimedia reports that combine audio, video, photos and text to tell the story of how the mayor's policies and ideas are affecting the everyday lives of the almost 4 million residents of the Greater Philadelphia region.
