The Road to Frustration

T he road to frustration. In Missouri, where highways are among the worst in the nation, drivers are paying with their lives. Journalists at The Kansas City Star turned the spotlight on a sovereign highway department with a troubling history of waste and mismanagement. Nearly half of U.S. roads are rated good or very good. In Missouri, that number drops to 15 percent. Driving on that state’s under-funded, poorly maintained highways is a tooth-rattling, bone- jarring experience. And motorists are paying the price with costly repair bills and an alarming number of accident-related fatalities. In a detailed, scientific study, Kansas City Star journalists examined more than 3,800 miles of highways across three states and mapped Missouri’s worst stretches. They also exposed the state’s Department of Transportation (MoDOT) as a bloated bureaucracy that operates with almost no accountability or oversight. The Star’s two-part series, “State of Disrepair,” provided readers with detailed analysis and reporting that identified the problems and potential solutions. As a result of The Star’s investigation, Missouri’s state auditor called for sweeping changes at MoDOT. And residents of Kansas City learned how a Knight Ridder newspaper always goes the extra mile for its readers. The Philadelphia Inquirer The (Columbia, S.C.) State Duluth (Minn.)

Knight News Challenge Casting the Net Wide for Innovation a Quest for Fresh Ideas and a Dose of Humility Drive the Knight News Challenge by CHRISTOPHER CONNELL
Knight News Challenge Casting the Net Wide for Innovation A quest for fresh ideas and a dose of humility drive the Knight News Challenge BY CHRISTOPHER CONNELL THE KNIGHT NEWS CHALLENGE reviewers, meeting at the foundation’s headquarters in a Miami skyscraper overlooking Biscayne Bay, were divided over one intriguing entry. A 25-year-old freelance tech reporter and blogger wanted to pioneer a new, public subscription model for investigative journalism. David Cohn wanted to launch a website in San Francisco where reporters could pitch ideas for stories and invite the public to contribute small amounts, on the order of $10 to $50, to underwrite the investigations. The public – the crowd – would decide which stories to go after. When enough money came in – as little as a few hundred – as much as several thousand dollars, the reporter would go out and do the job. Spot.Us, as Cohn dubbed his brainchild, would publish the results on its website, but also look for other media outlets for the work. It wasn’t that people didn’t think it was a good idea. But there That the lean, scruffy Cohn could go from graduate were a lot of questions and much student at the Columbia School of Journalism to media discussion about special interests innovator capable of placing stories in The New York Times seemed, at the time, a pipedream. But this was and the co-opting of the process: if a new digital age, with mainstream newsroom you paid for a story, did you expect staffs and budgets in freefall and millions of people, certain kinds of outcomes? young and old, getting their news online.

Treasure Valley Air Quality Perception Study
TREASURE VALLEY AIR QUALITY PERCEPTION STUDY Supplemental Document Todd Chavez Chavez Survey Research, Inc. September, 2012 Treasure Valley Air Quality Study September, 2012 SUMMARIES AND TEXT OF RESPONSES TO “OTHER” AND OPEN- ENDED QUESTIONS Content analysis of each open-ended question—either as an “other” response category to a question or an essay question—was performed with repeated reviews and classification of comments made by respondents. For each question, preliminary themes were constructed during the first review of all comments. Often, a single comment touched on more than one theme and, as such, a single respondent’s comment may contain more than one comment item. During the second, third and fourth reviews, comments were reviewed for consistency in theme association and themes were further developed or sometimes collapsed into another theme. A summary table and the text of all comments made by respondents for each open-ended question are provided in this supplemental document. The code numbers in the summary tables correspond to the code numbers within each comment table. Each comments table is sorted first by county, then by the first code column, then the second code column. Thus, associating a code with a theme allows the reader to quickly identify all comments attached to the theme. _________________________________________________________________________ ____________ For the question “Where do you get MOST of your information about air quality?” respondent were asked to specify the source. For each of the nine sources, a summary table is presented followed by a second table listing all responses and their categorization. SD-Table 1.

About a Quarter of Large U.S. Newspapers Laid Off Staff in 2018
EMBARGOED COPY – NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION UNTIL 9:30 A.M. EDT, AUG. 1, 2019 About a quarter of large U.S. newspapers laid off staff in 2018 BY ELIZABETH GRIECO Layoffs continue to pummel staff at U.S. newspapers. Roughly a quarter of papers with an average Sunday circulation of 50,000 or more experienced layoffs in 2018, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis. The layoffs come on top of the roughly one-third of papers in the same circulation range that experienced layoffs in 2017. What’s more, the number of jobs typically cut by newspapers in 2018 tended to be higher than in the year before. Mid-market newspapers were the most likely to suffer layoffs in 2018 – unlike in 2017, when the largest papers most frequently saw cutbacks. Meanwhile, digital-native news outlets also faced continued layoffs: In 2018, 14% of the highest- traffic digital-native news outlets went through layoffs, down slightly from one-in-five in 2017. The following analysis examines layoffs at large newspapers and digital-native news outlets during the full 2017 and 2018 calendar years. An earlier analysis by the Center looked at layoffs at news organizations covering the period from January 2017 to April 2018. Roughly a third of newspapers that had layoffs in 2018 saw multiple rounds About one-in-four U.S. newspapers with an average Sunday circulation of 50,000 or higher (27%) experienced one or more publicly reported layoffs in 2018, according to the study, which examined EMBARGOED COPY – NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION UNTIL 9:30 A.M.
