Persist Media NYC

Persist Media NYC is an independent media production company documenting the people, neighborhoods, and culture that define the 5 boroughs of New York City.

Since 2015, we've archived 500+ interviews with residents, visitors, business owners, creatives, and communities across Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, The Bronx, and Staten Island, creating one of the largest independent collections of firsthand stories about NYC life.

Through original documentaries, street interviews, and digital storytelling, our mission is to preserve the voices and experiences shaping New York today while building a lasting archive for future generations.

From local culture and history to sports, food, neighborhoods, and everyday life, Persist Media NYC offers an authentic look at the world's most dynamic city.
