Perfect job for a press freedom champion and Newmark School. Congrats, @joelsimonsays.
Delighted to announce that @JoelSimonSays is joining the @newmarkjschool as founding director of the Journalism Protection Initiative. He had been a champion of press freedom around the world and I couldn’t imagine anyone better to run this new program bit.ly/3ivTSSr
Congrats to @JustADCohen for the 2,000 edition of #MarshallProj Opening Statement newsletter -- a remarkable feat of curation and expertise. Subscribe to keep up to date on the criminal legal system: mailchi.mp/themarshallprojec…
I know you're getting deluged this #GivingTuesday but please consider supporting work that uncovers abuses in our criminal justice system and helps communities hold officials to account. We are grateful.
Heading into 2023, we're investing even more deeply in our news for incarcerated audiences & are working to launch local news teams across the U.S.
Your #GivingTuesday donations help sustain our efforts to expose abuses in the criminal justice system: themarshallproject.org/donat…
Please support Jimmy Lai, a champion of free press who is now suffering the consequences.
Last week, CPJ and partners called on Hong Kong leader John Lee to secure Jimmy Lai’s release.

Hearty congrats to our Cleveland partner SignalCleveland, launching today. We're proud to collaborate and today we co-publish a deep dive on how pandemic funds were spent on police: 1/3 signalcleveland.org/
Here's the story by @RachelDissell, Anastasia Valeeva and @Weihua_Li1, on both our sites today: 2/3https://www.themarshallproject.org/2022/11/15/in-greater-cleveland-federal-covid-relief-for-criminal-justice-goes-mostly-to-pay-police
And on Signal Cleveland: signalcleveland.org/in-great… Congrats again to Lila Mills and her team.
We spent months analyzing who cycles in and out of Cleveland's courts. They aren't who you think. As in the rest of the country, much of Cleveland's crime is driven by untreated mental illness and addiction. @WesleyLowery @IlicaMahajan dig deep: themarshallproject.org/2022/…
Here are #MarshallProj key findings -- most commit nonviolent crimes: themarshallproject.org/2022/…
And how we analyzed nearly 70,000 cases between 2016 and 2021: themarshallproject.org/2022/…
Midterm elections appear to hinging on crime -- see Pa, where Oz may be narrowing the gap with Fetterman by labeling him "pro-murderer." @AbbieVanSickle @caryaspinwall find the facts behind the rhetoric: themarshallproject.org/2022/…

Fellow reporters: Do you want to pursue a story about your own sheriff and use our survey results? Please get in touch!

Hundreds of sheriffs across the country now subscribe to the “Constitutional Sheriff” ideology, believing their own authority “supersedes” governors and presidents.
They’re rejecting gun laws, COVID-19 mandates and, now, election results. 🧵

Sheriffs wield great power, sometimes under the radar. #MarshallProj surveyed them -- and their takes on policing, immigration and politics crucial. Please read @MauriceChammah deep dive 1/2: themarshallproject.org/2022/…
And some "constitutional sheriffs" think they're more powerful than the Federal govt and its laws: themarshallproject.org/2022/…
Don't be misled by authorities telling you Alabama prison strike is under control: #MarshallProj @keribla gets the receipts from inside: themarshallproject.org/2022/…
Confused by crime stats that are becoming a political football in the midterms? Let @Weihua_Li1 #MarshallProj walk you through handling stats with care:
A big development on a #MarshallProj @MauriceChammah deep dive into interrogations and confessions:
Huge news: Larry Driskill — whose conviction was the subject of our @MarshallProj investigation of interrogations + confessions — was released on parole today after 7 yrs behind bars. @innocencetexas says they'll help him seek full exoneration.
