Thrilled to see my colleague @shoeshine on this list of the best investigative journalism of the year. Can’t even describe the hustle that went into this piece, after years of reporting. And it’s in fantastic company.
"Walter’s work brings to light labor abuses in places that the government has forgotten or chosen not to look."
Congrats, @shoeshine on making @Longreads Best Investigative Reporting of 2020.
Can't wait for your book!

Grateful to call @lauracmorel my colleague. Congrats on the anniversary, Laura. And I absolutely endorse the lesson in this thread!
On this day three years ago, my first radio segment aired on @reveal while I was one of their investigative fellows.
I've worked on five other shows since then, now as a full-time Reveal reporter.

Much is broken in our society, including the longstanding business models that have supported fact-based, independent journalism. Nonprofit, public media organizations such as @Reveal are among the last bulwarks of this independent press, and we depend on your support.
1/ Well, if there was ever a year that needed investigative reporting, it was 2020. But don’t let your guard down.
Investigative journalism will be even more important in 2021. That’s why we’re asking you to support us.

So proud of the amazing team behind this story, and so grateful for their work to be recognized.
.@reveal won the @LoebAwards in the audio category for "Behind Amazon's Big Smiles."

If you've listened to the series, you know that the music is one of the absolute highlights of American Rehab. If you haven't, I'm guessing the music will make you want to hear the journalism that inspired it. Either way, do yourself a favor and check this out.

First, read this thread from @add, who’s been @willCIR’s primary editor on our Amazon investigation, both of them among a team of journalists here at @Reveal that have been working on this story for a couple years now.
Then, note the backup from the longest-serving head of OSHA, who's also mentioned in Andy's thread. teapaw.org/drdavidmichaels/status…

Turned off #Debates2020 because there’s no chance of leaving that spectacle better-informed? Here’s an eye-opening investigation from @Reveal you can read (and share) instead.
Amazon's company records, including internal safety reports and weekly injury numbers, show that Amazon has profoundly misled the public & lawmakers about its record on worker safety.They reveal a mounting injury crisis at Amazon warehouses. @reveal

Side note: There are lots of musical highlights in this series, thanks in large part to a dynamic score by @jimbriggs3 and @NandoArruda_ . One of my favorites comes in this episode, courtesy of @Starecheski. You'll know it when you hear it.
Chapter 5 of @reveal’s #AmericanRehab is out tomorrow! Hear how @NFL and President Ronald Reagan’s drug war collided at Cenikor.
I promise you this is soooo much better than that home renovation show featuring Wes Borland of Limp Bizkit with weirdly the same name.
Thrilled you’re listening, @nate_bowling.
IT GETS EVEN WILDER.

Thanks so much for your support!
And since you’re listening to American Rehab, let me tell you: it gets even wilder.)
And if anyone is reading this and not listening to American Rehab, why are you depriving yourself? revealnews.org/american-reha…

There's not much I can say that will prepare you for the wild ride this story takes you on. I will tell you it's a quintessentially American story, and it's fitting that the first two chapters arrive on Independence Day.
Without further ado, presenting American Rehab.
🚨🎧 IT'S HERE!! 🎧🚨
We’ve spent more than 3 years investigating rehabs that put residents to work without pay. What we found shocked us.
Now, all of that reporting has come together in our first-ever serialized podcast.
Introducing American Rehab.
revealnews.org/american-reha…
Prepare for a wild ride. This story goes deep. So excited for our listeners to hear it.
For more than three years, we’ve been investigating a uniquely American phenomenon: Unpaid labor, in the name of rehabilitation.
That reporting has now become our first-ever serialized podcast, American Rehab. It lands Saturday.

This show is a deep look at what it meant to have absent national leadership (and, in many cases, lagging state leadership) as COVID-19 spread.
On @reveal's latest show w/ @WLRN & @KQEDnews:
We look at how officials in two states, #California and #Florida, made key decisions in the early days of the pandemic in spite of testing failures and as the Trump admin downplayed the threat of the virus.

Thanks so much, especially to @fvaraorta for making space for the session, to @reynoldspost for moderating, to @juliachanb and @havana58 for always dropping wisdom, to @IRE_NICAR for making it possible, and to everyone who tuned in!
Thank you @fvaraorta @juliachanb @reynoldspost @RevealerInChief @havana58 for this session. If you missed it, especially if you do hiring, please watch the archived session on the @IRE_NICAR site.
We are blessed to have great partners. Thanks to @Chalkbeat for working with us on this, and to our own tremendous reporters, producers, and editors for all their work on it.
If you don't listen and subscribe to @reveal, you should. Excited @Chalkbeat was able to partner and contribute on the latest episode, examining inequities in remote learning: revealnews.org/episodes/home…
Not only is this a powerful set of stories, it’s a glimpse into how lethal disparities in medical treatment get folded into the structure of the health care system.
👋🏾 I’d love for you to listen to the latest episode of @Reveal.
It’s an hour that connects the dots between the legacy of systemic racism in this country and the current state of maternal and infant health
