inewsource is always looking for newways to bring deeply researched investigative and data-driven stories to San DiegoCounty residents. That’s why we areexploring podcastsas a way to share longform audio storytelling. This builds on our current radio reporting for our media partner, KPBS.
We are piloting this podcast with a story we first reported in November 2015. Reporter Chris Young found that airlines were routinely violating a curfew intended to keep departing planes grounded from 11:30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. However, out of the more than 200 violations since 2010 only about half had resulted in a fine.
