Examples of accountability journalism needed

The AP is looking for examples of accountability journalism from the past year to highlight in Sunshine Week 2020 package about local news. We’re especially interested in watchdog reporting that relied on public records requests or led to reforms. Projects produced by a collaboration of news outlets also are welcome. Please email a brief summary of the story, a link to it and contact information for follow-up questions to AP State Government Team Editor Tom Verdin at taverdin@ap.org. Deadline: Jan. 31.
