The Examination celebrates its one year anniversary

Sep 13, 2024 | theexamination.org | Ben Hallman

I slept through the most important single moment in The Examination’s history. It was the morning of September 13, 2023. I’d set my alarm for 4 a.m. The Examination’s website was due to go live an hour later, as would the two major investigations we’d labored over for months. My hand woke up enough to hit the snooze button, apparently more than once, without my brain activating at all. At 5:45 a.m. I awoke with a start, and a panic. It had been a long few weeks, months, a year.
Our mission: Fearless journalism for a healthier world

I founded our newsroom to address a crisis in coverage that has implications for all of us. In an age of cutbacks and retrenchment, many newsrooms lack even a single health reporter.
