Because you’ve donated to In the Dark in the past, I know you care about investigative journalism and its ability to highlight injustice and hold powerful people and institutions accountable.
I wanted to make sure you’ve heard about a new podcast from our colleagues at APM Reports called Sent Away. Like In the Dark, it’s an investigative podcast with engrossing storytelling. It digs into the untold stories of mistreatment and abuse in Utah's massive teen treatment industry… and how the government failed to keep all those kids safe. Five episodes are out now, and there are two more to come.
Sent Away features reporting from my long-time colleague Curtis Gilbert, who has been covering the troubled teen industry nation-wide for 5 years. He partnered with local news outlets in Utah, public radio station KUER and The Salt Lake Tribune. Another reporter on this project is a name that will be familiar to you as an In the Dark fan — Will Craft, who also works with us on In the Dark as the data reporter. Samara and I also helped edit episodes of Sent Away.
This is such an important and compelling story. I hope you’ll make time to listen.
