2019 ANNUAL REPORT

KyCIR.org | 502-814-6500 619 S. 4th Street | Louisville, KY 40202 Photo: J. Tyler Franklin / LPM About Us

The Kentucky Center for Investigative Reporting is a nonprofit, nonpartisan newsroom founded in 2014 by Louisville Public Media, a 501(c)3 corporation that operates three public radio stations, including 89.3 WFPL News. KyCIR works with WFPL and other news partners across the region to produce and distribute original reporting in the public interest. Our journalism affects you, your neighborhood and your commonwealth.

Our mission is to protect society’s most vulnerable citizens, expose wrongdoing in the public and private sectors, increase transparency in government and hold leaders accountable, all in accordance with journalism’s highest standards.

Many newsrooms today are facing difficult choices. Some are shrinking staff and cutting back on investigative reporting, which takes significant time and resources.

At KyCIR, we believe this in-depth reporting is critical. Our journalism shines a light on major problems in our city and state, sparks conversation and spurs solutions to the commonwealth’s woes. We are members of our community. And our work is funded and supported by our community.

“KYCIR is doing vital work in keeping Kentucky politics transparent. With the demise of press journalism, we rely on you!”

— Richard Lewine and Alison Sommers, Louisville, KY

1 A Note From The President

The bet that Louisville Public Media made when we started KyCIR was that inves- tigative reporting, which had been decimated by media consolidation, still had a value beyond the public good. And we proved that in 2019, when KyCIR became fully self-sustaining.

That is, our individual members and institutional supporters made KyCIR a fully sus- tainable business in addition to an award-winning journalism outfit.

That’s a remarkable achievement, but it’s not a surprise. KyCIR has been a relentless seeker of truth and enforcer of account- ability to the systems of power in our state. Our journalists have advocated for facts and transparency through their reporting and the legal system; time and again, they’ve opened systems of government and authority to the public in ways that would not have happened without their work.

In this report, you’ll see a remarkable collection of civic journal- ism that reminds us why we can’t take investigative reporting for granted. Our podcast, Dig, forced Louisville police and health care systems to be more accountable to women reporting Photo: J. Tyler Franklin / LPM sexual assault. Kentucky workers are safer on the job because of changes Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear made in response to one of our investigations. And police agencies changed the way they handle asset forfeitures as a result of our journalism.

Great journalism takes resources, and I’m proud to say that in 2019, we also re- ceived financial support from more individuals than ever before. They, like LPM as a whole, have invested in a form of civic journalism that is more vital than ever.

I’m proud of the work detailed in this report. And I’m proud that, after another year of firsts, KyCIR will continue to be there for our city and our commonwealth.

Thank you to everyone who makes this work possible.

Stephen George President, Louisville Public Media

2 A Note From KyCIR’s Managing Editor

When we released our new podcast, Dig, at the end of 2019, some of the most compelling audio came from an interview with top-ranking officials at the Louisville Metro Police Department.

Reporter Eleanor Klibanoff had spent months learning everything she could about how rapes are investigated in the city, and she found some disturbing truths: police were much more likely to close a case, “prosecution declined,” than they were to arrest a person accused of rape. She brought that finding to the LMPD.

They told her that the real problem wasn’t their policing, or prosecutors. It was the media. They said stories like ours do harm, because they weaken trust in the police.

I thought this was an interesting thing to say, because below the surface of that blame-shifting, I heard something of an acknowledgement.

If we tell people how the system really works, they might question it. Photo: J. Tyler Franklin / LPM That’s not something we fear at KyCIR because it’s at the core of who we are and what we do. Over and over, we’ve seen our stories reveal hard truths and seen things change. Even LMPD was motivated by our story to improve their training methods, and prosecutors took steps to make it more transparent when they decide against bringing charges.

At this writing, we are deep into 2020 — we’ve seen the news cycle change, our living rooms become our newsroom and the inner workings of LMPD leading the national news. In short, a lot is different, but our commitment to showing you how the system really works hasn’t changed a bit.

Sincerely,

Kate Howard Managing Editor, Kentucky Center for Investigative Reporting

7 The Power of Our Journalism

We continue to be proud of our focus on stories where we feel we can affect change, and grateful to see the evidence that it’s working. The power of our investigations is clear through these examples of the impact of our work over the last six months:

INFRASTRUCTURE

An investigation last summer by KyCIR’s Caitlin McGlade revealed that eighty Kentucky dams with condition issues would threaten lives or property if they breached — but only six of those dams had complete emergency plans. In October of 2019, the city of Earlington in Hopkins County began taking steps to fix a dam highlighted in our story and develop an emergency action plan. We hope other cities Photo: KyCIR will follow.

PUBLIC HEALTH

A 2018 KyCIR investigation that Kentucky’s OSHA agency had failed to properly investigate workplace fatalities continued to bring impact.

In 2019, in the wake of our investigation, the state promised salary raises, additional training and new equipment for inspectors.

Then, in January, newly elected Gov. Andy Beshear reinstated the Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board, which former Gov. Matt Bevin abolished in July 2018.

8 JUSTICE

In December, we published “Prosecution Declined”, an investigation by Eleanor Klibanoff and the subject of our new podcast,Dig . Klibanoff found that city officials used an unusual review process for rape investigations — and it rarely brought rape convictions. This investigation prompted city officials to call a public hearing and ask the police department to answer questions about their Photo: Jacob Ryan/KyCIR rape investigations. The Louisville Metro Police Department also announced a new training program in response to our work.

KyCIR’s Jacob Ryan deeply reported several revelatory stories about the policies and practice of asset forfeiture. For the second year, legislators proposed bills that would require law enforcement agencies to disclose more details about cash and property seized through asset forfeiture or be subjected to financial penalties. The latest bill would also enforce a current reporting requirement that Ryan’s reporting revealed was only followed by 11% of law enforcement agencies each year.

The practice of police agencies has changed tremendously since Ryan’s reporting, too: roughly twice as many agencies are complying with current asset forfeiture reporting laws now compared with before his story published.

We hadn’t even published Ryan’s investigation into the police department’s use of public nuisance laws before public officials were admitting they’d made mistakes and promising a review. Officials acknowledged we were right that the policy was being used against victims of domestic violence, and dramatic changes made at the Louisville Codes and Regulations department were a direct result of KyCIR’s story.

POLITICAL ACCOUNTABILITY

And finally, Governor Beshear’s administration agreed to settle public records lawsuits filed by two state cabinets against KyCIR. The legal struggle began in November 2017, when KyCIR requested six years of sexual harassment complaints through Kentucky’s Open Records Act. Under the previous administration of Gov. Matt Bevin, the Labor and Finance and Administration cabinets sought to keep sealed the

Photo: Thinkstock names of state employees who were accused of sexual harassment in cases where an internal investigation didn’t substantiate the allegations. The terms of the settlement will require the state to pay KyCIR about $53,000 in legal fees and release the unredacted versions of documents sought by KyCIR.

9 PROSECUTION DECLINED

We launched season one of a new podcast, Dig, in December 2019. The investigation found the majority of people accused of rape in Louisville will never be arrested or prosecuted. Instead, police often clear the case “by exception,” as if it were solved, blaming prosecutors’ refusal to take the case. This practice goes against both the law and best practices for how to handle rape cases and treat victims of sexual assault.

Dig was featured for several weeks in Apple’s “new and noteworthy” section and we partnered with Reveal for an on-air special in December. Our local alt-weekly paper, LEO Weekly, did a follow-up story and also published guest commentary about our investigation’s findings. And the podcast appeared in several “best crime podcast” articles, including Mashable, Women’s Health, Cosmopolitan, Vulture and in the podcast Crime Writers On.

The “Prosecution Declined” investigation was named the winner of the Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE) Award for small radio stations and the winner of an Edward R. Murrow regional award for News Documentary. Beyond impressive audience metrics and receiving prestigious awards

10 for this work, we see our biggest success being the immediate impact of the story, and hopefully continued changes that will benefit future victims of sexual violence in Kentucky and beyond. The story prompted immediate community conversation and a demand for accountability.

In the wake of our investigation, the Metro Council’s Public Safety Committee called Lt. Shannon Lauder to answer questions raised. The Louisville Metro Police Department announced new training for patrol officers responding to victims of sexual assault and plans to change some aspects of how they close rape cases. Going forward, detectives will require prosecutors to put a decision to decline prosecution in writing to avoid miscommunication. Additionally, the case of Jen Sainato, the subject of the “Prosecution Declined” story, has been reopened.

The story has also impacted future investigations, as Eleanor Klibanoff has been reporting on the anticipated increase in domestic violence during coronavirus, and we continue to connect our constituents with resources they may need as victims of sexual assault.

This project was reported by Eleanor Klibanoff and edited by Kate Howard. Laura Ellis of WFPL was the audio producer. Alexandra Kanik produced graphics, web design and conducted data analysis. We utilized a freelance illustrator, Carrie Neumayer, for the project art. Photos for the story were taken by Louisville Public Media’s visual producer, Tyler Franklin. Legal review was conducted by Jon Fleischaker and Michael Abate of Kaplan Johnson Abate & Bird. DIG

“Investigative reporting is the best thing that has happened in this area.”

— Larry and Kathy Howe-Kerr, Louisville, KY

“I am alone most of the day and WFPL keeps me company! I also think the Kentucky Center for Investigative Reporting is EXTREMELY important for holding those in power accountable. When I tune in, I never fail to learn something new and have my point of view questioned, which I absolutely welcome. Keep up the good work!!”

— Daniel Stark and Rachael Genaris, Louisville, KY
