Some great opportunities here, but I’m going to single out the digital producer job since it’s part of a newly formed team with @AnnieWu216 and myself. We’re looking for somebody super skilled at all things newsletters and social.

Demonstrators marched in Akron Monday calling for justice for Jayland Walker, who was fatally shot by police in June. As @AnnaHuntsman_ reports, they also brought attention to Issue 10 — a charter amendment that would create a civilian police review board. https://t.co/JJmEMA5iVK

Great digging by ⁦@themattrichmond⁩ to detail the reality of how ShotSpotter is being used on the ground in Cleveland. https://t.co/LvOPOCRF7V

Last year, a Wyoming-based LLC bought 51 houses in Cleveland. Tenants have faced lingering problems, from a flooded basement to a kitchen ceiling hole.

I hope this piece illuminates the issues Cleveland is grappling with as it reworks its housing code. https://t.co/7qL1ksGqG5

When Cleveland leaders started to discuss spending millions in ARPA $$ to add 300+ police video surveillance cameras to the 1,500 that already existed, an interesting undercurrent of questions emerged from council members about the camera locations & what capabilities they had.

Story coming soon on this, but for now, here's a quick 🧵 on the 2 civilian police review boards being considered in Akron. There was discussion in a council meeting today about why the city thinks the charter amendment could conflict with the police union contract. @WKSU

Good morning and happy primary day. Here is a brisk look at some of the legislative primaries around Northeast Ohio that are on today's ballot: https://t.co/cw9yzx0YMR

Franklin Ragsdale, of Akron, stands outside the Akron Civic Theatre Wednesday as Jayland Walker’s funeral takes place. “We continue to protest,” Ragsdale said. “We continue to fight. We continue to press for legislation for systematic change.”

[Ryan Loew @ryanloew]

"I'm feeling hope that we can get some things changed nationally," said Ilyse Walwyn, an activist from Cleveland, who was among the steady stream of mourners who formed a line Wednesday to enter the visitation for Jayland Walker in Akron. @WKSU https://t.co/zcvKDsSTvw

Good Monday morning, all. It's a busy day in the Akron news world. First up is a press conference with Mayor Dan Horrigan & Police Chief Steve Mylett. Jayland Walker's family and legal team are also holding a presser this afternoon. I'm covering both. Stay tuned for updates @WKSU
