Dear readers,
Trustworthy local news and information requires resources that advertising alone can no longer support. Today, subscriptions, donations and philanthropic investments are what can sustain local news, ensuring our neighbors stay informed and leaders held accountable.
Accountability is what happened when reporter Scott Travis asked why the Broward School District was spending $2.6 million to rent office space amid a budget crisis. After Scott’s story was published, the school board quickly moved to get out of the lease.
And for a year Abigail Hasebroock has focused on Boca Raton’s government-campus redevelopment plans, keeping tabs on the contentious proposal for a swath of land near the city’s downtown.
Local reporters tell you what you need to know to stay safe.
Bill Kearney prompted a water fitness instructor to write: “I read your article about lightning this morning and just wanted to say thank you for the most comprehensive report on the dangers of and what to do when there is lightning in the area.”
Shira Moolten’s in-depth expose of a serial sexual abuser elicited this praise from a reader: “I’m so grateful you’re giving voice to women, who are so often on the losing end when it comes to domestic violence. … Sadly, in a justice system still largely run by men, the scales too often tip in their favor, to the detriment of victims.”
