Disaster Aid Sometimes Helps Fund the Next Disaster [69]

As hurricane season gets into full swing, a perpetual paradox reemerges — does disaster aid  help or harm?

The latest TipSheet explores the question and provides context, reporting resources and story ideas.

Coronavirus Silence, Secrecy Harms Public Health [73]

Mishandling of vital information by the U.S. government worsened the COVID-19 pandemic, argues the latest WatchDog. The no-holds-barred opinion piece, which notes that coronavirus is as much an environmental story as a public health one, points the finger at the White House and the “Silent CDC,” sifts the wreckage of the testing program and speculates about the dearth of data as the nation reopens.
