"The journalists we've hired from the Lab have had such a profound impact on our journalism. They've played an integral role in our coverage of some of the country's most consequential stories, including the contentious 2024 presidential election, the black lung crisis plaguing our region's coal mines, the struggle over the future of U.S. Steel, the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, and many more. The common thread of these journalists has been their strong reporting and writing instincts, and an ability to use all the digital and investigative tools at their disposal.
