Every published piece is anchored in primary source material - court records, internal memos, FOIA releases, and on-record interviews with the people directly affected.
The Openfiles Podcast opens the case files in public. Long-form conversations with whistleblowers, attorneys, organizers, and eyewitnesses - the kind of interview a newsroom deadline usually cuts short.
Every Sunday at 5PM CST, MAPNEWS runs a live workshop teaching the mechanics of public-records reporting: how to draft a FOIA, how to appeal a denial, how to read what agencies actually released. $10 to attend. Nothing held back.
