    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.

PLAINTIFFS VS. MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER GOVERNOR ANDY BESHEAR DEFENDANT Introduction This lawsuit is brought by parents on behalf of their children, who are students at St. Joseph Elementary School, a Catholic parochial school in Cold Spring, Kentucky. Plaintiffs challenge the legality of an Executive Order issued by Governor Andy Beshear on August 10, 2021, which requires all teachers, staff, students, and visitors in Kentucky schools (preschool through grade 12) to wear face masks while indoors, regardless of vaccination status.1 The Court will explain in more detail below the background to this dispute and the bases for plaintiffs’ claims. Recognizing the urgency of this matter, however, the Court is issuing an initial opinion as expeditiously as possible. 1 That Executive Order may be found in the electronic record of this case at Doc. 6-3, pp. 7-11.

    In classic Greek mythology, a golden apple of discord inscribed "For the fairest" was awarded to Aphrodite, beginning a chain of events that led to the Trojan War. GrayRobinson's newsletter reports on the most recent issues, individuals, and discourse deemed fairest in Washington. November 15, 2019 House approves Ex-Im Bank reform, reauthorization The House of Representatives voted today to revamp the Export-Import Bank and extend its operating authority for ten years. H.R. 4863, the United States Export Finance Agency Act of 2019, would rename the Export-Import Bank the US Export Finance Agency, would block any support to Chinese military or intelligence services, and make it easier for the agency to respond to predatory export financing by China. The bill passed roughly along party lines, 235-184, and President Trump has said he will veto it if it reaches his desk. It has no Senate companion. House Financial Services Committee approves bills on debt collection, fair lending The House Committee on Financial Services spent much of this week marking up legislation, and approved eight bills for floor action. The Committee voted unanimously to pass H.R. 5003, which gives service members additional protections from threats by debt collectors; H.R. 4403, which extends Fair Debt Collection protections to debts owed to federal agencies and clarifies its application to debt buyers; and H.R. 2398, which would expand eligibility for the HUD-VASH program. Members voted along party lines on H.R. 5021, which would limit debt collectors’ ability to email or text consumers; H.R. 5013, which would extend Fair Debt Collection protections to small business loans; H.R.

    December 2, 2020 The Honorable Andy Beshear Governor Commonwealth of Kentucky Eric Friedlander Secretary Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services Via e-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Dear Governor Beshear and Secretary Friedlander, Thank you in advance for your time. I’m writing on behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and our more than 6.5 million members and supporters worldwide regarding an urgent matter related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which in Kentucky has resulted in more than 187,000 cases and more than 2,000 deaths.1 Given the uncertainty of the reopening of Kentucky and the continued high infection rates throughout the country, we urge you to intervene for the sake of public health and permanently end experiments on animals at laboratories and universities in your state, starting with those already deemed by institutions themselves to be non-essential during the initial shutdown because of COVID- 19. In response to the shutdown, experimenters at laboratories in Kentucky and throughout the U.S. deemed experiments and the animals used in them to be “extraneous” or “non-essential,” among other similar terms—and therefore euthanized thousands of these animals assigned to laboratory experiments. The University of Louisville (UofL) informed its experimenters that “all non-essential research activities are suspended” and “[n]on-essential research studies and experiments that have not yet started should be immediately postponed.”2 PETA questions why any of these animals are being bought, bred, trapped, or experimented on in the first place since they’re now, in response to the pandemic, so readily being disposed of and since 1Covid in the U.S.: Latest map and case count.

  • An Analysis of How Journalists Interview Children Impacted by Immigration Policies
    Breaking Down the Wall by Perla Salazar-Rangel — 55 Breaking Down the Wall: An Analysis of How Journalists Interview Children Impacted by Immigration Policies Perla Salazar-Rangel Journalism Elon University Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements in an undergraduate senior capstone course in communications Abstract Journalists have interviewed children and teenagers for stories such as school shootings, child abuse cases, and issues related to immigration. There are few ethical guidelines regarding how minors should be interviewed by journalists, or if they should be interviewed at all. This study examines how journalists covered immigration- related issues between November 2016 to October 2019 and how children were interviewed for those stories. Based on this examination, ethical guidelines for journalists approaching migrant children, or children of migrants, will be suggested to ensure their safety and privacy, while still allowing for their perspectives in news stories. I. Introduction The Society of Professional Journalists created a set of guidelines in 1909 about the ethics of practicing honest and accurate journalism. The major components of the SPJ Code of Ethics are to seek truth and report it, minimize harm, act independently, and be accountable and transparent (SPJ, 2014). “Minimizing harm” is the only subhead that mentions dealing with juveniles. The code of ethics has seen several revisions, most recently in 2014. Revisions include the mention of taking special care when dealing with juveniles and sources who are inexperienced or unable to give consent. Journalism professor Karen Slattery (2016) noted that the code moves away from the terminology of a “journalist with ethics” to “ethical journalism,” which she sees as problematic in the sense that it can shift the weight of the issue away from a specific journalist to journalism as a medium overall (p.
