About Us
iSpyVNY serves more than two million residents and businesses across the San Fernando Valley, providing comprehensive, independent coverage of regional and national aviation news. At the heart of our reporting is Van Nuys Airport (VNY)—a central fixture of the region whose operations and oversight are matters of public interest. Our contributing editors gather news from government agencies and officials, industry experts, public statements, wire services, and our own journalism to deliver vital information that matters to the public.
We report for those who live and work with the airport—on its grounds, along its borders, and across the communities it touches. Our coverage brings key decisions into focus, exploring policy, operations, compliance, land use and daily life.
Readers can expect a full spectrum of airport-related issues, including:
- Airport development: past, present, and future
- Environmental impact and sustainability
- Day-to-day operations and logistics
- Infrastructure, expansion, and land use
- Governance and regulatory oversight
- Airspace coordination and flight activity
- Historical significance and evolution
- Community relations and regional effects
MISSION
iSpyVNY, in partnership with our affiliates, is committed to delivering accurate, in-depth investigative reporting that fills the information void left by mainstream outlets. We provide residents, aviators, businesses, and policymakers with facts essential for sound decision-making, as well as content that engages and enlightens. Our goal is to spotlight stories often overlooked by broader Los Angeles transportation coverage, elevating the lives and livelihoods of local communities in San Fernando Valley.
BUSINESS MODEL
iSpyVNY operates without a revenue model—to report without compromise. Our work is driven by public interest, integrity, and a belief in journalism’s core purpose: to inform. We’re building a public-powered newsroom rooted in something increasingly rare—reporting that serves people, not power.
