Abstract

The article highlights the investigative reporting efforts of Katey Rusch and Casey Smith, who worked on the 2024 San Francisco Chronicle series "Right to Remain Secret." Their extensive research, which involved over a thousand public-records requests, revealed a longstanding system of legal settlements that obscured misconduct within California's law enforcement. Their findings have prompted new initiatives aimed at reforming law enforcement practices, emphasizing the importance of accountability for those in power. The article underscores the qualities necessary for successful investigative journalism, including curiosity, creativity, and resilience. [Extracted from the article]
