As 2024 draws to a close today, I remember my friend and former colleague @marshallallen, a champion of quality journalism and quality health care, who died this year. Very much missed. propublica.org/article/marsh…

Marshall Allen, a Tenacious Health Care Journalist, Dies at 52

Allen, who spent 10 years of his career reporting for ProPublica, was a fierce advocate for transparency and fairness in health care, guided by his strong faith and belief in honesty and integrity.

For every child lost to a school shooting, there is a room that’s left behind. Eerily quiet. Tragically brimming with personality. And frozen in time. For the past six years, CBS News’ Steve Hartman has been traveling the country with photographer Lou Bopp, going into some of these rooms and photographing them. The heartbroken parents who opened their doors to us say people constantly tell them that they can’t imagine what they’re going through. But they say people need to imagine. CBSNews.com/rooms
