A thriving Black community in Newport News, Virginia, was about to develop more land and attract more residents. Then city leaders seized the core of the neighborhood by eminent domain to build a college. Why? They wanted to erase a "Black spot."propublica.org/article/how-vi…

Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey wants to deploy the National Guard at shelters to help with a housing crisis. Here's another idea: how about filling the 2,300 empty state-subsidized apartments? propublica.org/article/massac…

A provision in Virginia law makes it harder for the public to know the inside story of how Christopher Newport University has uprooted a Black community. And that's how the higher ed lobby wants it. propublica.org/article/virgin…

In their heyday, local papers covered their towns as closely as the London media cover a coronation. But they also could be cozy with power-brokers. My look at the mixed legacy of now-departed papers: propublica.org/article/local-…

The first floor of the newspaper building in Springfield, Mass., where I learned to be a reporter, is now a marijuana dispensary. Here's what I found when I returned to my old haunts after more than 40 years: propublica.org/article/local-…

Now that local newspapers are vanishing, we remember them as the bedrock of democracy. But the reality was more complex. As a young reporter for a long-defunct paper, I learned a lot of important lessons, and some that I had to unlearn. propublica.org/article/local-…

At least Paul Trible was consistent. As president of Christopher Newport University for 26 years, the ex-senator's policies drove out nearby Black residents, and reduced the numbers of Black students and faculty. Read the latest in our "Uprooted" series: propublica.org/article/christ…

So many scammers were laundering gift cards at Walmart that they often ran into each other at self-checkout counters! Check out (pardon the pun) this absorbing look at how the retailer's lax oversight fostered a boom in fraud: propublica.org/article/walmar…

File under Long Overdue! It took a compelling ProPublica/VCIJ series to prod Newport News VA and Christopher Newport University to re-examine the school's location and expansion, which eradicated a thriving Black neighborhood. Are reparations next? propublica.org/article/christ…
