🚨 New, from me: The medical examiner who helped persuade a jury in 2004 that Russell Maze killed his baby son has recanted his testimony. Now both the DA’s office and the original M.E. agree that the crime for which Maze was convicted never occurred. 1/x propublica.org/article/russel…

Financially supporting non-profit, not-for-profit & alternative newsrooms in #Arkansas that are undertaking innovative coverage & telling neglected stories is a great way to increase news quality & diversity. @ArkTimes @ArkAdvocate @suziparker could all use your support. #arpx

This state calls itself the ‘most pro-life.’ But moms there keep dying. Giving birth in Arkansas comes with more risk and less care. 92 percent of maternal deaths were found to be preventable. Urgent reporting by @anniegowen washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/08…

Part 2 via @JordanPHickey: The "skyrocketing" cost of living in Northwest Arkansas has put a financial burden on area teachers who are A) in single-income households and B) relatively new NWA residents. Some have taken on side gigs to make ends meet. arkansasadvocate.com/2024/08/05/nw-…

@ArkansasBlog @ArkTimes @BoyceUpholt @ArkAdvocate Which is a long way of saying, it’s so great to see more and more reporting like this being done to keep industry accountable in SW Arkansas.

@ArkansasBlog @ArkTimes Loved this deep dig from @BoyceUpholt. Reminds me that there’s so much to this — e.g. the abysmal enviro history of producers in the area, the lack of resources set aside for community engagement, etc., that I saw reporting for @ArkAdvocate a year ago. arkansasadvocate.com/2023/03/01/sou…

@alexheard I mean, it's possible that stuff is legit — but I can't help but think about the Thomas Kunkel biography that came out a few years back. Specifically, what's discussed in this @CJR article. cjr.org/first_person/j…

Frankly, it’s kinda hard to believe that this issue is still as widespread as it is — but maybe the efforts of the AGs will make a difference. Maybe. washingtonpost.com/technology/202…

Apparently, I wasn’t the first person to find his phone number — he’d been getting calls daily about people wanting to buy cryptocurrency.

This, friends, is what you might call an iceberg story. The 10 percent that you see is pretty interesting — but the truth is that there’s *so* much more to this story that didn’t make it through the edits. washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
