Today, we're highlighting the best investigations of 2021! Our editors' favorites include #longreads and in-depth projects at @BuzzFeedNews, @MotherJones, @propublica, @RollingStone, @NYMag, and @sfchronicle: longreads.com/2021/12/14/bes…
"@HeidilBlake and @katiejmbaker’s investigation is a disturbing but important look at the inner workings of this dark and dehumanizing industry, and one that can hopefully help drive reform nationwide." Their dive into guardianships is a must-read: buzzfeednews.com/article/heidib…
"Both Liberty University and Moody Bible College routinely sidestep accountability in the name of God, and young women bear the consequences." We recommend @Hannah_Dreyfus' investigation into Liberty's response to sexual abuse and harassment on its campus: propublica.org/article/the-li…
In another damning investigation into a prominent Christian college, @kbeccaandrews digs and discovers how patriarchy and purity culture enabled abusers at Moody Bible Institute: motherjones.com/politics/2021/…
We also recommend @JasonMotlagh's gripping story and essential reporting on Afghanistan's National Highway 1, which was meant to represent a new Afghanistan but instead became a "glaring symbol of America's failures": rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
"This is both an investigation and a story about how an investigation can consume you." We couldn't stop reading @reeveswiedeman and @lilapearl's smartly written piece about a thief who's turned the cozy world of books upside down: vulture.com/2021/08/steali…
"The time and care invested is on stark display throughout the piece, the deep reporting paired with rich photography and data visualization." Finally, the Oakland homeless project by @KevinChron, @SarRavani, @LAHepler, and @SFjkdineen is worth your time: sfchronicle.com/projects/2021/…
