About the Project
The sixth borough. That's what Mayor Bloomberg calls the 578 miles of shore land that encircle the five boroughs of New York City. This project presents multimedia portraits of the people who live and work on New York City's waterfront. Stories from the sixth borough were reported and produced by students at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.
