[2] On June 12, 2012, City & State sponsored a forum for the 2013 mayoral candidates on opportunities for Minority- and Women-Owned Businesses.
[10][11] In March 2009 Manhattan Media began publishing CityArts, an arts review staffed by former writers from the recently folded New York Sun.
Billed as "New York's Review of Culture", it was initially distributed as a supplement in other Manhattan Media papers before expanding to become a stand-alone, twice-monthly free publication in the fall of 2009.
[12] Armond White, formerly of New York Press, assumed editorship of the paper in September 2011,[13] broadening its coverage to include both popular and fine arts and adopting a new slogan, "Bringing Thinking Back".
[14][15] Due to low ad revenue, CityArts reverted to a supplement in late 2012,[16] and ceased publication in early 2014[citation needed].
