This was a labor of love story to work on, and I'm super thankful to everyone who made it happen.🎲
It also, serendipitously, got published the same week I'm celebrating two years of working at the Dayton Daily News.🗞️

Outstanding work by @TheLantern staff covering the hours-long protest on the @ohiostate South Oval that resulted in at least 30 arrested. Truly student-journalism at its finest.
New investigation from me:
Newly revealed FirstEnergy docs show the company made a $1 million dark money payment for the "Husted campaign" in 2017 as the company was ramping up what would become the largest bribery scheme in state history https://t.co/ZkTAeZ5rZ4
Ohio lawmakers last year passed a bill limiting journalists' access to preliminary autopsy reports, including suicide notes. I don't know what records exist in this case, but it could be an example of when such records may contain information of public importance.
I just finished my coverage for the 50th anniversary of the 1974 Xenia F5 tornado.
Mother Nature better not do anything hilarious in the next 12 hours.
