Unlike police departments in Los Angeles and New York, San Diego does not test all rape kits. The following excerpt is an explanation from Michael Grubb, who manages the San Diego Police Department’s crime lab.

The Times established a newsroom AI Committee to provide guidance on the responsible use of artificial intelligence while remaining firm in our values of accuracy and accountability. Reporters have long used AI-powered tools for workflow tasks, like transcribing interview audio. As AI capabilities advance, we will explore ways it can empower our work. Examples might include using AI to parse large datasets or aid in translation. AI use requires a critical eye and oversight. As we would with any source, we treat its insights as unverified until proven, and reporters may not use AI to directly craft content published in the Times. When AI-powered reporting or analysis is key to a story, we commit to offering transparency to readers about why and how such tools were used. There’s a fine balance — we must interrogate and explore this powerful technology, but we also must keep in mind its biases, privacy concerns and potential for errors. AI tools will not interfere with our integrity as independent writers and thinkers.

The Invisible Institute arose out of the work of executive director Jamie Kalven during the final chapter of high-rise public housing in Chicago. From 1994 until the final demolition in 2007, Kalven’s base of operations was the Stateway Gardens public housing development, said on the basis of the 1990 census to be the single poorest community in the nation. Kalven had several roles there. He established a program of "grassroots public works" aimed at creating alternatives for ex-offenders and members of street gangs. He served as advisor to the resident council, participating in negotiations with the Chicago Housing Authority, Department of Housing and Urban Development, and private developers. And he practiced a form of human rights documentation that Studs Terkel once characterized as "guerrilla journalism."

The Texas congressional delegation has secured about $675 million to pay for community projects across the state in federal spending bills for the next fiscal year. But the funds, informally known as earmarks, are all in jeopardy amid the threat of a government shutdown.
Lawmakers returned to their districts last year empty-handed when Congress left earmarks out of stopgap legislation used to fund the government for the current fiscal year, which ends Tuesday. Now, local governments, universities and nonprofits in the state stand to lose out on millions of dollars for infrastructure improvements, research and more if both parties in Congress are unable to resolve an impasse that has stalled the spending package that includes the earmarks.

The Tribune is Utah’s independent voice. Building on a legacy of courageous, watchdog journalism, we strive to tell stories that are interesting, important and inclusive. Dedicated to fairness and accuracy, we aim to engage and empower you — our readers.
In a historic move, the IRS approved a new nonprofit Salt Lake Tribune in October 2019, making it the first legacy newspaper in the U.S. to transform from a for-profit company to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
Under this new business model, The Tribune will continue to offer subscriptions and accept traditional advertising (although it will pay taxes on that income). But now, the newspaper can also receive donations — large and small — from donors who may receive a tax deduction for their donation. Since our approval, we’ve heard from hundreds of supporters from Utah and across the country, so thank you for the donations and encouragement!

Bolts covers the nuts and bolts of power and political change, from the local up. We report on the local elections and obscure institutions that greatly shape public policies but are overlooked in the U.S., and the grassroots movements that surround them.
We focus on two areas where local governments play a key role: criminal justice and policing, and voting rights and democracy.
When it comes to practices that balloon prisons or weaken democracy, decisions are often made by an opaque ecosystem of institutions and officials. Our journalism shines a spotlight on the levers of power that influence democracy and mass incarceration—think of your local judges, county clerks, or prosecutors—and the political battles around them.

Now the most famous artists are dominating the industry like never before, while everyone else is scrounging for pennies. What’s left of music media is chasing those same huge artists for an ever-decreasing slice of the SEO pie. Virality is king, stan armies run rampant, A.I. is ascendant.

At Prism, we believe that justice requires the full story.
When Prism was established in 2019, it was because we knew that the status quo media landscape wasn’t reflecting enough of the truth—and it wasn’t bringing us closer to our vision of collective liberation and justice. We saw a different path forward, one that we could forge by dismantling harmful narratives, uncovering injustice alongside the people experiencing the acute impacts of oppressions, and providing a platform for people of color to tell their own stories.
Prism investigates systems of power with communities most impacted by injustice at the center of our reporting. We connect lived experience to structural inequality, ground our work in historical and political context, and produce clear, accurate journalism that strengthens movements and builds media literacy for collective liberation.

In a precarious moment for criminal justice reform, this work is crucial. We produce fact-based reporting and analysis that centers the voices of the people directly impacted by the issues we cover and educates the public on how the criminal legal system works. We correct common misconceptions and counter tough-on-crime narratives to assert that a world without mass incarceration and criminalization is possible and necessary.

The War Horse reports on the U.S. military and veterans issues, exposing the true cost of military service and rebuilding America’s reporting ecosystem to inspire an informed citizenry that holds the military-industrial complex accountable. Our team accomplishes this through bulletproof journalism, education programs, and community-building events.
Today, the U.S. government spends more than $1 trillion annually on defense and veterans affairs, more than twice what it spends on health care, education, infrastructure, and diplomacy combined. In contrast, less than 5% of journalism focuses on military service. The problem is growing worse and negatively impacts not only U.S. national security and the viability of the all-volunteer military force, but the everyday lives of veterans, military families, and our nation as a whole. The War Horse team is setting the standard for reporting stories that matter, with diligence and integrity, to rebuild Americans’ trust in the press.

Milton I. Wick founded Wick Communications with his brother James in 1926, when he became owner and publisher of the Niles Daily Times in Niles, Ohio.
Mr. Wick was born Feb. 20, 1899, in Bowdle, South Dakota. He attended Irving Grade School and South High School in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He attended the University of Iowa and received a B.A. degree from the University of Nebraska in 1922. While in college, Milton and James Wick organized a business in Lincoln, Nebraska, that employed university students to sell books to farmers during the summer. The enterprise was so successful it was expanded to Iowa, Missouri and Kansas, employing more than 500 students during its three years of operation. After graduation, Milton Wick worked in the sales department of McQuay-Norris, a manufacturer in St. Louis, Missouri. He married Rosemary Lumas in 1926, and they had two sons, Walter M. Wick and Robert J. Wick. He turned to the publishing business in 1926, when he bought the Niles Daily Times. He eventually acquired 27 newspapers in several states.
