Click the links below to read some of the stories I’m most proud of:
- “Homelessness in NKY: Region grapples with how to care for those who are unhoused”–The case of the Emergency Shelter of Northern Kentucky, a homeless shelter in Covington, Kentucky, that has been subject to a number of criticisms. What does it mean for a region with arguably minimal protections for the homeless?
- “Priced out of the river cities? ‘The market sets it all.'”–A look into rising home prices, the mechanisms that lead to them, and what communities in Northern Kentucky are doing about it. Shout out to Alecia Ricker, who also contributed reporting to the story.
- “Eyes for sale! Inside Kentucky’s battle over for-profit eye banks”–When people think of organ and tissue donation, they think of, well, donations. That’s changing. Learn about for-profit eye banks and the legal battles surrounding them.
- “Land slippages in Northern Kentucky highlight unique geological challenges, economic risks”–Northern Kentucky’s peculiar geography makes it susceptible to land slides and slippages, especially in the face of burgeoning residential development.
- “Semitrailer accidents in Cherry Hill neighborhood concern local residents”–Your GPS is wrong! One Northern Kentucky neighborhood’s plight against semi-truck accidents.
- “Investigation finds Covington Schools failed to adequately ‘respond to reports of sexual harassment’”–A year-long investigation into alleged harassment from a former principal at Covington Independent Public Schools. What does it say about the district as an institution?
- “Police searches and constitutional rights: the case of Damien Conner”–If the cops pull you over and claim they smell weed in your car, can they search you? What if they think you have a gun? I use the case of a man who was arrested for obstruction as a way of unpacking laws and procedures around police searches and consider if they’re necessary.
