New in @gothamist.com by @ryankost.bsky.social: "NYC schools falling short on education for youth in detention, new report finds". @afcnewyork.bsky.social report finds the DOE has failed to report key data on educational services to youth in juvenile detention. gothamist.com/news/nyc-sch...

Got mine there last weekend

I got mine done, too.

Also! I work at @wnyc.org/ @gothamist.com now… Get in touch with any and all tips.

Introducing COYOTE Media Collective!! The Bay Area’s first journalist-owned newsroom — modeled after the smart, sassy, fun alt-weeklies of yore — is launching later this summer. Help us get this rad project off the ground! @coyotemedia.org givebutter.com/coyotemedia

very excited to be a founding worker-owner of COYOTE. Aiming for the things I miss about alt-weeklies (like writing fun shit & doing real investigative work at the same time) w/o the things I don’t miss (vulture publishers who knew nothing about the Bay Area or journalism and seemingly hated women)

What happens when prosecutors help convict innocent people — and their colleagues are tasked with investigating it? We looked at every exoneration tied to New York’s conviction review units. Here’s what we found. @nysfocus.bsky.social nysfocus.com/2025/04/14/w...

Bronx DA Darcel Clark told a cautionary tale to justify rolling back New York’s discovery laws. Court records show her story wasn’t true.

Discovery reform is holding up New York’s budget. One case Bronx DA Darcel Clark used to argue for rollbacks didn’t happen the way she said it did.

After 25 years in prison for a murder she didn't commit, Renay Lynch finally heard the words she'd been waiting for: "You are fully exonerated." But there was a catch: To win the DA's support, she had to abandon her claims of prosecutorial misconduct. 🧵

Great reporting by Dan Hinkle and @injusticewatch.org on Cook County's integrity unit. Highlights many of the same issues we identified in our investigation of New York's CIUs for @nysfocus.bsky.social …

Conviction integrity units were designed to correct wrongful convictions. But when prosecutors are the ones at fault, CIUs often stay silent. Our @nysfocus.bsky.social and @columbiajournalism.bsky.social series on conviction integrity units continues with Part 2: nysfocus.com/2025/03/13/c...

Our investigation identified dozens of cases in which a wrongful conviction unit denied someone’s application, only for a judge to later exonerate them. Reporters @ryankost.bsky.social and Willow Higgins discussed the story with Radio Catskill. Listen here:

"Nearly half of [New York’s conviction integrity programs] have yet to support a single exoneration." "[T]hese people would do anything just [..] to try to sabotage truthful evidence." “The right thing is never going to be done.” #nyc #newyork @ryankost.bsky.social @nysfocus.bsky.social

Check out the first part of our yearlong investigation into New York’s conviction integrity units: “DAs Promised to Help Wrongfully Convicted New Yorkers. In Many Cases, They Made Things Worse.”

For the past year, Willow Higgins and I have been looking into NY’s conviction integrity units. They promised justice for the wrongfully incarcerated. But our investigation, in collab w/ @nysfocus.bsky.social and @columbiajournalism.bsky.social Investigations, shows they have fallen short. 🧵

Is there anything more 'personal essay' than learning a random scientific fact and using it as the basis/metaphor for a 2,000+ word piece without actually understanding the random scientific fact at all? 'In Chile, there are vines that ..."

A while back, I started asking experts to help me understand why it was so difficult for ppl in prison and jail to sue for proper medical care. Why, for example, had one state system gotten away with delaying treatment for Hep C? www.themarshallproject.org/2024/12/04/k...

Great read by @ryankost.bsky.social. Ryan reported this for his thesis @columbiajournalism.bsky.social when I was his advisor--now published by @themarshallproject.org. Top notch work! www.themarshallproject.org/2024/12/04/k...
