You may have guessed from our posts that reporting #FinedOut was a profound process for @jake4shore and I. Digging through documents, sparring with FOIA officers and sitting with sources sharing heartbreaking interviews tested us in new ways as reporters. Let's talk about it!
Yes I will only be talking about Fined Out for probably the next three days (and then again on Sunday when it takes over the @islandpacket print edition).
Living in a tourism destination usually makes for an unbearable summer of traffic, long lines and packed beaches. But starting on March 17, 2020 was destined to be different.
🧵: This story published on our front page Sunday, and the front page is the perfect spot for Zao Estrada. In 1994, there were 804 female high school wrestlers in the U.S. In 2018, the number was 26x higher: 21,124.
Important to note that this story is available only to our subscribers. I invite you to invest in the kind of local reporting that connects you to people in our community. Here's a link to support the work: islandpacket.com/kokal
