Annual Report Annual Report
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. -

And in 2017, KyCIR’s reporting generated unprecedented impact in our community and our commonwealth. In September, we reported that Louisville police were helping federal of- ficials conduct immigration raids and enforce federal policy that’s well out- side their purview. -

Reading Recent Scandinavian Crime Fiction
LITERATURE OF CRISIS : READING RECENT SCANDINAVIAN CRIME FICTION A Thesis submitted to University of North Bengal for the Award of Doctor of Philosophy in English By MANDIKA SINHA Supervisor Professor Soumyajit Samanta Department of English University of North Bengal May, 2019 ABSTRACT The five nations of Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, and Finland make up Scandinavia which lies in the northernmost regions of Europe. In the international sphere, they are put under this umbrella term of Scandinavia as they are neighboring countries who share many similarities. The one common thing they share is that all these nations follow the Scandinavian welfare model also known as the Nordic welfare model. Following the chaos of the post-war years, these nations felt the need to come up with a solution to the low standard of living of their citizens. This led to the establishment of the welfare model which was based on the social and economic well being of the citizens with the government providing universal healthcare, education, childcare, and good retirement benefits. The government promised to look after the well being of the individual based on the tenets of equality. This model has been hailed as a success throughout Europe and the rest of the world as Scandinavian countries continue to top the world happiness chart. They have been celebrated as the most peaceful and affluent nations in the world. Parallel to the image of the success of the Scandinavian welfare model is the global phenomenon of Scandinavian crime fiction which is a term given to crime novels written by authors hailing from these nations. -

Squarespace – Build it Beautiful. [0:34] Rabia Chaudry On February 9th, 1999, Hae Min Lee’s body is found in Leakin Park. She’s discovered in a shallow grave, her body turned on its right side, covered by dirt, leaves, and large rocks. She’s taken to the Medical Examiner’s Office the same day to conduct an autopsy, and later that month, in the early morning hours of February 28th, Jay leads the detectives to Hae’s car, which has been abandoned within a couple of miles from the burial site. Now, the story told by Jay and then adopted by the State as the theory of the crime is this: that on January 13th, Hae Min Lee left school around dismissal time at 2:15 p.m., she was killed in her car by Adnan by 2:36 p.m., her body was put in the trunk of her Nissan, and then she was buried around 7 p.m. that same day by Adnan and Jay. Now, in any investigation, the crime scenes and autopsy should yield evidence that supports the State’s case. In this case, the crime scenes are the burial site and Hae’s car. -

As it comprises an immense diversity of writing done in such mainstream sub-genres as detective, police, and serial killer fiction, as well as actual noir, I will investigate both the contrasts and the crossovers between said sub-genres. -
