Hi fFriend,

In an Opinion column published yesterday by The New York Times, David Leonhardt said,

“[Curtis Flowers’] release is a triumph of justice. It’s also an example of the power of great journalism; a team of American Public Media reporters, including Madeleine Baran and Samara Freemark, uncovered multiple holes in the case and laid them out in a fantastic podcast.”

Last week, In the Dark was named a winner of the 2020 Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award, one of the most prestigious awards in broadcasting.

Few newsrooms have dedicated resources to investigative journalism of this kind. Your support makes it possible.
