June 2007 Archives



The N4I unit been honored with quite a few awards in the past year -- Emmy, Murrow, IRE, Missouri Broadcasters -- to name a few. This afternoon, we received one of the greatest honors any reporter can hope for.

Missouri Governor Matt Blunt signed a law written as a result of a News 4 Investigates report.

If you're a regular reader of Drudge Report, there's no denying the site leans hard to the right.

Drudge is fast to throw up banner headlines about minor (and sometimes not-so-minor) transgressions by blue-tinged lawmakers and their ilk, while red-stained pols are subject to much less frequent online skewering.

Even the advertising on Drudge's site caters to a conservative crowd. Ad links o...

From the Associated Press:

PETERBOROUGH, Ontario (AP) -- A judge has ruled that a 24-year-old Canadian man is not allowed to have a girlfriend for the next three years.

The ruling came after Steven Cranley pleaded guilty on Tuesday to several charges stemming from an assault on a for...

A ferocious squirrel went on the rampage in Germany this week, attacking three people before meeting its match in an angry 72-year-old.

Sorry if the DB disappeared rather abruptly.

After a four-day weekend around Memorial Day, the N4I unit shuttered its doors so the three Steves could take a much-needed break.

Steve Harris and Steve Perron both split to spend time with their families. I headed out west to Phoenix for the annual conference of Investigative Reporters and Editors.

But we're back... slogg...
