* The project would not have been possible without the generous participation of WBEZ's Curious City project and Hearken, and the journalists, listeners and community members who participated in interviews. This work was supported by the Tow Center for Digital Journalism; and University of Southern California's Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism.
