Classic Comments
"We'll put people back to work rebuilding our crumbling roads and bridges, modernizing schools that are failing our children, and building wind farms and solar panels, fuel-efficient cars and the alternative energy technology that can free us from our dependence on foreign oil and keep our economy competitive in the years head."
Barack Obama
The U.S. president-elect was providing an outline of his plans for the economy.

    New York Statesman
    We work strenuously to bring our readers a completely independent perspective of New York news. Our software programmers, editors, journalists and affiliated wire services are all dedicated to producing the best journalism possible.

    This in a world where conflicts of interest pervade business empires, and political dynasties, and where a shrinking number of media proprietors are growing their interests at the expensive of diversity of media ownership. The New York Statesman is an independent online newspaper. Our focus primarily is to produce the latest breaking stories out of New York.

    We also cover the nation. Regional news too is a priority, as is our extensive world news coverage. For a New York weather report, local news, breaking international headlines, or what's happening in sports, the New York Statesman is for you.

    Our Business Centre too is active 24 hours a day, bringing you the latest market updates from key global centres like Tokyo, Sydney, London, Paris, Berlin, and New York. Foreign exchange rates are a regular feature, and we provides a vast range of general interest news covering topics like business travel, seniors, womens interest, and lifestyle stories.
