Host Phillip A. Jones talks to Geoffrey King, civil rights attorney and Executive Editor of Open Vallejo, the first non-profit news organization in Vallejo, California. After witnessing police violence in his hometown, Geoff used his education as well as his experiences as a litigator and founded Open Vallejo, the first non-profit news source in Vallejo, California. Over the past several years, Geoff and his team have broken major stories covering the recent badge-bending scandal within the Vallejo Police Department, and digging deep into the coffers and archives of local government. Geoff has brought much needed transparency and a new perspective to reporting and his non-profit, open-source model is changing the face of investigative journalism. We will cover some of Open Vallejo's biggest stories, including the Vallejo Police Department's badge bending scandal. #justice #transparency #freedomofthepress #media
