We're honored to have led @boyleheightsbt for a decade with Pedro Rojas of @LaOpinionLA and @mlevander -- and proud of the community model that has always defined it. Excited for the future under the dynamic leadership of @kkelleygirl and @JessicaPerezLA2!
Excited that @USCAnnenberg is part of American Journalism Project’s L.A. Local News Initiative, joining 20 media outlets & universities in advancing local journalism. This builds off of the remarkable work of @boyleheightsbt, founded by @mlevander & @ReportingHealth. #usc #ascj

In California, more than half of families have been touched by domestic violence, according to a 2017 study. Yet it is often treated as a criminal or private matter rather than a public health epidemic. Journalism can play a role in bringing about change and greater awareness.

The LATimes calls Wilmington, CA “an island in a sea of petroleum,” but since @AdamLMahoney was 6 years old, he's just called it home. His Data Fellowship project will explore how unchecked refinery emissions impact his community's health. #2021USCData

I’m a full-time ER doc getting ready to work a 24 hour shift in the emergency department. I am genuinely more concerned about going to work tomorrow morning than I was the day I launched on the space shuttle. 1.5% shuttle mortality vs 9-12% if I get COVID-19.

Misinformation still abounds: There's still a lot of people who think they can keep their private employer-sponsored insurance under Medicare-for-All, and pay deductibles and copays, which isn't the case, says @AliceOllstein #primaries2020
