Fellow Journos! Help me brainstorm. Leading an investigative journalism project at a high school in the fall. What records requests (city level) should I file in advance that high schoolers would find fascinating?
So far I've filed for inspection reports with the local housing authority, tenant complaints for bed bugs with the local housing authority, mentions of the school's name/nicknames by the mayor, school inspection reports by the school district, and leases for charter schools.
(the high school is in Newark)

Im not sure why the two scenarios are equivalent. McSally’s opponent was not actively managing his own election and polling locations in Arizona didn’t have near the problems those in Georgia did.
No one was praising McSally for simply walking away. People praised her for not inventing problems to be mad about - even if you disagree with the severity of problems in Georgia it is undeniable that they were present.
Just the idea that McSally would’ve stood down if Sinema was in charge of the election or if there were five hour lines in Republican strongholds coupled with massive machine failure and ongoing lawsuits is...not credible.

Hello journalists. Please do not retweet or quote claims about illegal ballot activity in Florida, Georgia or Arizona without fact checking those claims. You will help spread panic and mistrust and many of you already have.
And I’m mostly looking at you, national journalists. Local journalists are doing a fine job covering this accurately. All voting is local, and not all wild claims are news.
Journalists are part of the voting process. We are not apart from it. People do not look at the statements by their Secretary of State on a state website - they google and our work is there. If that work contains misinformation we meaningfully impact this system. Do good work.

Last week Trump praised a congressman who body slammed a reporter.
"If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you? Seriously, OK? Just knock the hell ... I promise you I will pay for the legal fees. I promise, I promise," — Trump in Feb. 2016 at one of his rallies.
"The audience hit back and that's what we need a little bit more of." mashable.com/2016/03/11/don…

But now, onto my own personal summation of this all. The @Guardian, it is THE paper and site that gives most national (UK) and international (USA, Australia, the damned world) to coverage of issues like poverty, class. It has worldclass investigative #journalism. But.....
... but I admit to being more than fully cheesed off with the Guardian myself. I was a loyal funder, around 60 quid a month, I stopped completely, because the Guardian's new policies were so idiotic and off-putting, not to mention counter-productive.
But! ....
But, bluntly, the @Guardian still is THE major newspaper in the UK, the USA or Australia, to give a very wide range of opinion from the public, & to also give reasonably trustworthy investigative #journalism.
I refuse to contribute money, but it's still very much my first go-to.

Oh, and let's discuss that bit of trivia, that went trending on Twitter for a short while, only in the UK, naturally. The #BoycottTheGuardian garbage. Because maybe the UK could benefit from dosing up the tapwater with lithium and haloperidol too.
For those who don't know it: the @guardian is a broadsheet, i.e. a respectable newspaper, not a scandal-mongering tabloid, based in the UK, though its web-presence is heavy in the USA and Australia. It is the smallest of national broadsheets in the UK, and the best one.
The @Guardian, national broadsheet w/ the smallest subscription in the UK, is also the most "left"-wing & liberal of the UK national broadsheets. Known 1821 till 1959 as the Manchester Guardian, it has done a huge deal of v important investigative #journalism over the centuries.

The Intelligence Mafia. by Heather Marsh, written almost a decade ago, still very true. #CambridgeAnalyticaUncovered georgiebc.wordpress.com/2010/11/27/the… …
What is the difference between a terrorist and a soldier? The actions are now identical, both act to produce terror, so probably the only standing difference is that terrorists are non-government agencies. Remember that. /1
The US intelligence infrastructure is not just huge, it is colossal, a parallel society living among us (yes, us, wherever you live). That has been amply illustrated by the investigative journalism project Top Secret America. /2
