By Newsdesk.org __ Another exciting aspect about this project is the reporting team behind it which includes Pulitzer prize winning Kim Komenich all around rock start Kwan Booth and the editorial vision of Josh Wilson from NewsDesk.org.
This Saturday Kwan and Kim went to a community information & INPUT meeting on the ports in Oakland which is a politically charged environmental issue. The Oakland port wants to reduce seaport diesel pollution by 85 percent by 2020 - the question is how. Various groups appear to be butting heads and they have till the end of this year to come up with a comprehensive plan.
Kwan will be writing up something about the meeting soon but I also know he is actively reporting with interviews set up Monday through Wednesday.
On the Spot.Us blog we will be publishing some of the raw reporting, but it should be taken as such - raw and unedited. Meanwhile the team outlined above will be producing more polished pieces over the next two-three weeks.
To whet your appetite here are the audio interviews Kim produced at Saturday’s meeting. Again, these interviews are raw and un-edited. Below are also a few of the many phots that Kim took. They don’t neccesarily provide context but that is part of what we hope to provide as reporting continues. So stay tuned and support our ongoing reporting.
