In the final episode of season one, we’re turning things over to River Town Producer Tadeo Ruiz. Tadeo is pretty new to Missouri – via Mexico City - and he’s been surprised to learn about how much people here love the river. But during his reporting for River Town, he started to feel connected with one Missouri River town in particular… Rocheport. Follow him along his journey as he gets to know the river and the people who love it.
In this month’s “Behind the Issue,” Editor-in-chief Micah Barnes spoke with Andrea Merritt to discuss her experience covering the case of Andre Roland and his brother’s fight for justice 35 years later.
