WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE
IN-DEPTH INVESTIGATIVE STORIES

WE REPORTED FIRST on the story about Ana Esparza, the 11-year-old Mexican girl who desperately needed a liver transplant but could not receive one locally because of the lack of U.S. citizenship. This story triggered community support resulting in Ana receiving her life-saving transplant.

WE ALSO BROKE THE STORY about the high school promised but not yet built in the Little Village neighborhood of Chicago for which a group of mothers went on a hunger strike.

For stories like these, our staff regularly appears on newscasts of major English and Spanish networks such as CLTV, CBS, telemundo, and Univision.
