The linked story is just one of many not getting any media attention due to the continued firing of investigative reporters.
From PBS's 'Expose'
The Withering Watchdog.
"Researchers are trying to quantify exactly how many investigative reporters have been lost, but clearly the numbers are large. They include those who, like Torres, might not have carried the title on their business cards, but did the complex, time-consuming work to unravel information for the public good.
In all, more than 25,000 journalists were cut from newsrooms where they were, as Torres put it, making a difference."
