CITY LIMITS MAGAZINE
City Limits publishes investigative journalism and news content through multiple digital platforms and via distribution partnerships, and published a bimonthly print magazine. City Limits was established in 1976 and re-launched in 2009—with a new business model—as an independent, start-up news media. City Limits included City Limits magazine, Brooklyn Bureau, Bronx News Network, and a series of events on public policy and economic development.
Mark led City Limits’ spinoff from the Center for an Urban Future, serving as Director and Publisher until 2013.
Under leadership, City Limits received 20 journalism awards—including back-to-back Sigma Delta Chi Awards from the Society of Professional Journalists for producing America's top local investigative reporting—and Mayor Michael Bloomberg declared a "City Limits" Day (October 2011), proclaiming City Limits “a model for NYC and the rest of the nation.”
