The Chronicle was honored for revealing how companies drastically underpay wildfire survivors. Gabrielle Lurie and an investigation of for-profit psychiatric hospitals were named finalists. sfchronicle.com/about/newsro…

Sad news in Santa Barbara: The News-Press presses have stopped.
It was my first full-time job out of school, right in the middle of owner-vs.-newsroom tumult that ultimately led, years later, to this news.
A sad day we could all see coming.

Incredibly strong explanatory data visualization in this piece on California college admissions and race from the @sfchronicle data team.
Meaty subject executed with the audience at the forefront; a complicated picture simplified.

Thousands of miles from San Francisco, on the outskirts of a village in Honduras, a mural appears like a mirage: the Bay Bridge. More emblems of the city appear unexpectedly and often. New homes rise behind gates emblazoned with 49ers or Warriors logos.
This is the Siria Valley.

The air in the Northeast is gross, so the @Hearst DevHub hustled to publish Air Quality Trackers for New York and Connecticut, following the @sfchronicle version used during wildfire seasons.

For years, @conniewang thought the story of her name was special. “Little did I know it was the story of a generation,” she writes. “Generation Connie.” nyti.ms/3VREJu3
