" summary

Mike claims a 30 million monthly reach with a 120-person staff and 75% mobile audience, publishing short and long video, interactive text and distributing via Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and mobile web. Reporting focuses on concrete angles — a Camden anti‑gang program that is measurably cutting violence, and an investigation that finds one African‑American owner of a legal marijuana dispensary in the US. Tools include bespoke video-search tech and fast collaborative workflows; podcasts are tested cautiously.
