Since December, we've written 32 stories and recorded 10 radio pieces and five TV spots using CalMatters new Digital Democracy database. I've named roughly 75 legislators in my stories. Pretty cool! Having an absolute blast using this new AI-backed system. If you're interested in seeing the sorts of journalism we've been doing, scroll through my story list. And please hit me up if you're a California reporter and you're interested in using this system to find unique stories about your local lawmakers.

Excited to be back in Sacramento, in the 2nd year of supporting youth journalism with CalMatters. This week, 40 fellows gather to collaborate and learn from journalists and veteran teachers before returning to their schools' newsrooms. Thanks to Paul Kandell for kicking us off with his expert advice on building and growing scholastic media programs. And thank you, teachers, for shaping the future of journalism! #JournalismEducation #YouthJournalism #Sacramento #JEF @MichaelLozano

Had so much fun shooting and editing this video with Robert Meeks for SoCalPBS and CalMatters on the Imperial Beach sewage situation. Once a world-class surfing destination, Imperial Beach is now plagued by pollution. Over the past five years, over 100 billion gallons of raw sewage have washed in from Tijuana, severely damaging the small beach town's reputation and environment and prompting residents to dub it "one of the stinkiest beaches in the U.S." Learn more at https://bit.ly/3NNzJ4T

California has lost one-third of its newspapers since 2005, according to a 2023 Northwestern Medill School of Journalism report. The number of journalists in the state has dropped 68% since then, and despite shifting efforts to digital, news outlets are struggling to attract readers and subscribers. https://lnkd.in/gzn4F4wu.

"Companies showed this is the way to repeal what the Legislature does: using an expensive, well-financed campaign to deny worker rights," said William Gould, former chair of the National Labor Relations Board, in response to today's California Supreme Court ruling, which lets the gig-industry financed, voter-approved Prop. 22 stand. #gigwork #gigworkers #gigeconomy #uber #lyft #doordash #labor #californiasupremecourt

NEW: As California Gov. Gavin Newsom signs an order advising cities to plan for widespread homeless encampment removals, what's happening in shelters offered as an alternative? A CalMatters investigation reveals records of sexual assaults, bedbugs, food shortages, even a child falling out a window — all part of a nagging lack of state oversight. https://lnkd.in/ga_XsNEy
Breaking: Pelosi was early to publicly voice concerns about the viability of Biden’s campaign after a disastrous late June debate performance. When Biden attempted to slam the door shut on that discussion, it was Pelosi who subtly, but very publicly, nudged the door back open. When vulnerable congressional Democrats began fretting that a flagging Biden would drag them down come November, Pelosi reportedly offered to be a sounding board and repository of their complaints. When Rep. Adam Schiff came out last week as the most high-profile Democrat yet to call on Biden to exit for the sake of the party and country, many saw in it the handiwork — or at least, the tacit approval — of Pelosi, Schiff’s mentor and political benefactor. And when it came time to deliver the unwelcome pitch and tell Biden that his hopes for reelection were faint, it was Pelosi who reportedly gave him a dispassionate analysis of the polls, even as she remained evasive in her public statements. https://cal.news/4fgfjj5 📝 Ben Christopher 📸 Jacquelyn Martin via Reuters #CA #California #CalMatters #biden #pelosi
