New York Parrot, a New York City-based national and global news outlet, was initiated to change the narratives of media operations, especially in New York State, wherein the quality of information available to poorer communities is irrelevant, pathetically regressive and sometimes fallaciously packaged. Likewise, the poor residents are practically misrepresented and painted red, which is one of the main causes of their anger. For instance in New York City, media contents or information available for poor communities are devoid of self-empowerment, and  filled with lots of useless and self destructive publications. To see newspapers and magazines talking about finances, entrepreneurship, health and wellness, etc., you would have to go to wealthier neighborhoods. Also, publications in the more affluent neighborhoods don’t reflect the reality of the plight of residents in minority neighborhoods.
To curb violence and racial and economic discrimination, and to promote peace and socio-economic development of multi-culturally dynamic world citizens, regardless of their locales and background,   New York Parrot is therefore born to prosperously “Speak Tomorrow” for the voiceless.
