For 20 years, Terps have worked to restore the ancient Roman city of Stabiae, destroyed in the same volcanic eruption that buried Pompeii.

Hi quick media literacy on breaking news — maybe it’s helpful rn.
If you see a variances in coverage, there are many reasons for that.

Here is @onthemedia's guide for interviewing conspiracy theorists and other disinformers running for office.

We didn't think the answer would be that difficult - a memorable moment worth watching.
Did you think the Flint water crisis was over? The city is missing records, the phones are out, health risks remain, and the Mayor dodges when I ask a simple question: how much more work remains, a decade later? @scrippsnews scrippsnews.com/stories/reco…

ICYMI: here’s our @scrippsnews doc abt #ketamine and how it is used to sedate agitated people. Doctors say it has a good safety profile. But you’ll also hear from a paramedic whose patient died of restraint asphyxia and toxic effects of ketamine youtu.be/g54-S40tIS0

Watch @scrippsnews 4/30, 9pm ET for our investigation into how paramedics use #ketamine. After the case of #ElijahMcClain, I expanded my research beyond CO. Med. toxicologists say the drug has a very good safety profile, but one paramedic whose patient died has a message too.

SOME NEWS: #InTheLoop, the dive bar of news shows, is closing up shop. In 3 years, we produced nearly 700(!) shows that sought to give people a different take on nightly news. Incredibly proud of this stone-cold pack of weirdos and what we accomplished along the way. (1/?)

This SUNDAY on @scrippsnews check out In Real Life: Injected. It's a continuation on a nearly four-year investigation into how paramedics use ketamine to sedate people who they say are agitated. Sometimes, those people are also restrained by police. So many perspectives! 9pmET.

The DOJ report gives voice to ppl who've been asking for change in Louisville for years. We knew DOJ ended up speaking w/many we had spent time with. But it was surreal to see their stories in black & white. @krod65 @eklib @maia_rosenfeld @MarenMachles @scrippsnews @EWScrippsCo
A new #DOJ report finds #Louisville, Ky. has a long history of violating citizens’ rights. The findings confirm Scripps News reporting in ‘The Model City.’ Learn what the DOJ found tonight at 8p ET on #ScrippsNews. scrippsnews.com/123384
