The Jersey Bee updated its style guide today to call Delaney Hall a "concentration camp." Nearly 300 detainees at the Newark facility allege inhumane conditions and rights violations. A hunger and labor strike has been ongoing since May 22.

Omaha sits on a superfund site. A lead smelting plant once pumped dust over the city, and it settled into the soil. Leah Wambui Keinama now has residents testing that soil block by block — and runs a program that pays neighbors to cover local government.

New Jersey's local and independent newsrooms now have a shared newsroom of their own. The NJ News Wire is out of beta and accepting new members. A story filed in one town can run in newsrooms across the state within a day.

Montclair State takes over NJ PBS on July 1. Our fellow @jeffjarvis argues the bigger opportunity is reinventing public media as the public's media — built on the New Jersey Model and the 300 independent local newsrooms we already work with. #localnews #NJnews

New Jersey newsrooms now have a shared wire of their own. The NJ News Wire is out of beta — members get 1,000 ready-to-run stories, a statewide photo library, daily alerts, and a wider audience for their own reporting. Governed by the newsrooms that use it. #LocalNews #NJNews
