The Catch-all: ICYMI June 7-13

It's back! After the hiatus with posting The Catch in the first half of this year, I'm starting to get back into the swing of things with the news round-up. You'll have to forgive me if it's a little sloppy, I'm still settling back into my routine of reading the news with regularity.

I also wanted to announce that my Investigative Journalism Bureau colleagues and I have won another award for our story on lead in drinking water! We've won the silver award for Best Data Journalism from the National Media Awards Foundation's Digital Publishing Awards. Two time award-winning journalist, right here.

Anyway, on with the news!
