In this latest Reality Check, David Cay Johnston looks at slowing economic growth, a weakening dollar, rising unemployment, stagnant job creation, growing layoffs in the tech sector, and why Americans are paying more for electricity.

📍When the cameras left Asheville, the story wasn’t over.

As our Co-Founder and Pulitzer Prize winner, David Cay Johnston, points out below, that’s why DCReport partnered once again with journalism students from Northeastern University for “Caught In the Current” — a powerful series examining what happened after Tropical Storm Helene devastated western North Carolina.

This is journalism that digs deeper. No press release rewriting. No cable news soundbites. Just real multimedia reporting about how people were affected, how leaders responded, and what happens long after the headlines fade. These emerging storytellers are amazingly talented and wonderful addition to the profession's ranks!
