An important investigation that all my East Bay peeps should watch. With huge props to my brother and sis-in-law for bringing it to light and sharing their experience. Great work by @abc7newsbayarea and @StephanieABC7 @kenmiguel abc7news.com/health/bay-area…

Proud of @EyeSpyTy and @nicholsmarkc for their hard work on this important story. Even got @mustangalli back in the field for a minute on this one.

When the CDC data is broken down to a county level, it gets more disturbing. Btwn 2015 & 2019, there are whole counties that didn't record one gun-related homicide but recorded double-digit gun suicides, as seen in the interactive map embedded in the story. (3)

Local news is changing, and ABC-owned TV stations are upping their game by investing in investigative journalism. The first major (and ambitious) initiative from the ABC stations' data team is out today: 'Our America: Equity Report.' latimes.com/entertainment-ar…

"In at least 18 of the 20 categories measured, the data revealed inequities in more than half of the United States' largest cities."
That includes gaps like access to health coverage.

In 1998, a Brooklyn computer salesman was due to report to prison.
He vanished instead.
Since then, U.S. Marshals have hunted the man behind a $350m fraud scheme.
Now, they may be closer than ever.
The new season of @ABC's “Have You Seen This Man?” premieres tomorrow.

There was a shooting every 12 minutes on average in the week from July 17 to 23, according to @GunDeaths, which provided the data for an @ABCNews special “One Nation Under Fire."

If you saw this news yesterday ... this was the hard work of our @ABC team @pamadden @clpark722 @ryansmithtv ... telling the stories of Black former NFL players whose concussion claims were denied because “race-norming” was utilized. Change on the horizon. Stay tuned.

Latest collab with our @ABCInvestigates team and @ABCOTV_ - do our police reflect our community? @PierreTABC @jkelly3rd @nicholsmarkc @HalleyFreger @SooRinKimm @MeredithDeliso @GraceMarie_35
As more law enforcement agencies recognize the value of having a police force that mirrors its community, there continue to be widespread discrepancies in the demographics of departments across the country. abcn.ws/3tYb2I4
