Welcome to McClatchy Journalism, a snapshot of the extraordinary journalism our newsrooms produce.
In this edition: Powerful video storytelling from The News & Observer in Raleigh documenting the intimate details of a family dealing with the death of a child; a joint project of our five California newsrooms on the unsafe water in the homes of too many state residents; a Fort Worth Star-Telegram podcast exploring compelling cold case files; reporting on the resignation of Missouri’s governor by the Kansas City Star, which led the way in reporting on the scandal that brought him down; strong accountability reporting from the Merced Sun-Star that put the wheels in motion for the local district attorney to be voted out of office; and a Rock Hill Herald profile of a family touched twice by the same rare disease.
‘This final journey.’ 5-year-old Raleigh girl with inoperable brain tumor dies.
