Impact and Programs
Accomplishments
Our long-form, in-depth online articles in the last year included pieces exploring the search for racial and ethnic identity among adoptees, the need to expand public education prior to kindergarten, regulation issues involving assisted living facilities, homeless war veterans, political overreach of religious institutions, people who believe they're being harassed and surveilled by the government, a whistleblower's claims of fraud in the U.S. Census Bureau, and our ongoing series of essays written by a transgender journalist as she documents her transition, and modern transgender life. We are also deep into the production of a documentary that investigates the death of a toddler and the babysitter convicted of killing her.
Current Goals
We are intently focused on completing a documentary that investigates the death of a toddler and the babysitter accused of killing her. This film explores the sometimes controversial subject of Shaken Baby Syndrome (also know now as Abusive Head Trauma), and will provide information that has never been made public before -- info that takes a closer look at both the police investigation and the court proceedings that led to this sitter's conviction -- and then to that conviction being overturned 12 years later.
Community or Constituency Served
