据一份新报告显示，纽约市市长佐赫兰·曼达尼正向一个约200人的社交媒体网红网络开放特殊权限，这些网红会转发市政厅的发言要点和视频，在线向居民宣传市政项目。
这份由《哥伦比亚新闻评论》发布的报告指出，这些网络红人通过一个名为“纽约创作者公告”的加密Signal群聊获取发言要点。
Signal具备阅后即焚功能，启用后可在设定时间段后自动删除消息。目前尚不清楚曼达尼政府的该群聊是否启用了该功能，这引发了其是否符合纽约市记录保存法律的疑问。
当被记者问及使用Signal是否可能违反市法律时，曼达尼表示：“本届政府将始终努力完全遵守所有法律要求，包括与保存城市记录相关的要求。”

“如果存在任何不符合法律要求的情况，本届政府将立即展开调查并采取纠正措施，”曼达尼在周三补充道。
去年，美国国防部长皮特·赫格斯因在包含一名记者的Signal群聊中分享有关美国军事打击的敏感实时细节而遭到抨击，当时政府使用Signal进行通讯的做法曾登上各大媒体头条。
《哥伦比亚新闻评论》的报告还指出，该市并未向参与该群聊或进行宣传的网红支付报酬，但部分网红会从与市政机构签订特定宣传活动合同的营销和广告公司获得报酬。被宣传的市政项目包括投票、医疗保健、移民和租户权益、参与式预算以及堆肥处理。

报告显示，市政雇员告诉研究人员，网红们每参与一场宣传活动可获得5000至2万美元的报酬。
该Signal群聊脱胎于“为佐赫兰创作”组织，这是一个支持曼达尼2025年市长竞选的团体。曼达尼当选为美国人口最多城市的首位社会主义市长，曾震惊美国政坛。
该群聊由新媒体与文化传播纽约市主任艾米莉亚·罗兰主持。罗兰及其团队会每日更新信息、发言要点和视频片段，供网红们在发帖时使用。

该群聊的运作方式类似于通讯团队用于向记者发送更新和信息的传统媒体联络名单。
各城市越来越多地利用网红来宣传市政服务、政策，比通过传统媒体更直接地与公众互动。

“纽约人通过各种渠道获取新闻，我们的责任是确保将市政府的信息直接传达给全市人民，无论是通过你们所有人、电视、广播、社交媒体、内容创作者等等，”曼达尼强调道。

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani faces questions about the Signal chat City Hall uses to reach his 200-strong ‘influencer’ army
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is giving special access to a network of more than 200 social media influencers who take City Hall talking points and videos to promote municipal programs online to residents, according to a new report.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is giving special access to a network of approximately 200 social media influencers who take City Hall talking points and videos to promote municipal programs online to residents, according to a new report.
The report, by the Columbia Journalism Review, highlights that the online personalities get their talking points through an encrypted Signal group text, called “NYC Creators Announcements.”
Signal offers a disappearing-messages feature that can automatically delete messages after a set period of time if enabled. It is unclear whether that feature is active in the Mamdani administration’s group, raising questions about compliance with city record-keeping laws.
Questioned by reporters whether the use of Signal possibly breaks city laws, Mamdani said, “My administration will always strive to fully comply with all legal requirements, including those that relate to the preservation of city records.”

“If there are any departures from what is legally required, my administration will look into it immediately and take corrective action,” Mamdani added on Wednesday.
The use of Signal for government communications made major headlines last year, when then-Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth came under fire after sensitive, real-time details about U.S. military strikes were shared in a Signal group that included a journalist.
The Columbia Journalism Review report also said influencers are not paid by the city for participating in the group or for their coverage, although some receive payments from marketing and advertising firms with contracts from city agencies for work on specific messaging campaigns. The municipal programs promoted include voting, healthcare, immigration and tenants’ rights, participatory budgeting and composting.

City employees told researchers the payments to influencers for their work ranged from $5,000 to $20,000 per campaign, according to the report.
The Signal group was formed out of Creators4Zohran, a group that supported Mamdani’s 2025 mayoral campaign. Mamdani rocked the political world by winning election as the first socialist mayor of the nation’s most populous city.
The group chat is steered by Emilia Rowland, the New York City director of new media and cultural communications. Rowland and her staff push out daily updates, talking points, and clips that the influencers can use in their posts.

The chat operates like a traditional press list used by communications teams to send updates and information to reporters.
Cities are increasingly using influencers to promote municipal services, policies and to engage the public more directly than through traditional media.

“New Yorkers get their news in a wide variety of ways, and it is our responsibility to ensure that we communicate information from city government directly to the people of the city, whether that means to all of you, to TV, to radio, to social media, to content creators and so on and so forth,” Mamdani emphasized.
Fox News Digital reached out to City Hall but didn’t receive a response at the time this report was published.
