Welcome to The Backstory, where we sit down with our reporters and ask them to take us behind the scenes of their work. A nonprofit newsroom for independent investigative journalists, Type Investigations covers the most urgent issues of our time, including racial and economic justice, climate and environmental health, and civil and human rights. We tell deeply reported stories in partnership with print, broadcast, and digital media outlets — allowing us to bring our work to a wide range of audiences.
