关于我们
The Examination is an independent donor-funded news organization founded with the understanding that information is a public health necessity, and that there is a critical deficit in information about preventable health crises responsible for more than a third of global deaths, and unimaginable human suffering. Our team of award-winning journalists is on a mission to help bridge the knowledge gap, delivering powerful, fact-driven reporting that demands positive change. We believe our reporting can play a vital role in improving lives — and even saving them. Each year, tens of millions of people get sick, or die, from maladies linked to toxic products, poor nutrition, pollution and other health hazards. These often-ignored health disasters are concentrated in poor and marginalized communities that can least bear the cost. Our reporting seeks to define, describe and even begin to close this health equity gap, through fact-driven, independent journalism that exposes those most responsible — and amplifies the voices of those most harmed. We cover big tobacco, big food, polluting industries and more.

So you're a tobacco firm of the 21st century, dedicated to helping the world quit cigarettes in favour of less harmful nicotine products. Obviously one of the key things you do is release dozens of new fruity flavours of cigarettes in bright colourful packaging, with names like ?“Summer Zest” and “Blossom Fusion”... right? That's not going to tempt any young people to smoke. Definitely not. Investigation by Maria Perez, Jason M. of The Examination and Francisca Skoknic of @RobotLaBot out today. https://lnkd.in/ev24RPNF #tobacco #corporateaccountability #smoking

Tastes fruity, causes cancer. New lines of flavor capsule cigarettes from Philip Morris International and British American Tobacco are helping the tobacco giants fight declining sales in Latin America. But blueberry, watermelon and lemon flavored smokes are also helping kids as young as 12 light up. Our latest investigation with Peru's Salud con lupa and Chile's LaBot put @The Examination on the ground with teen smokers in Chile. https://lnkd.in/eTDiRPPG????

Philip Morris International and BAT are pumping kid-friendly flavors like blueberry and watermelon into conventional cigarettes and have been fighting efforts to ban the products in Latin America. “Click” cigarettes have crushable capsules in the filter that infuse the smoke with flavors like lemon, apple or orange. These flavored cigarettes are star performers for the tobacco giants in countries like Chile, which has the highest smoking rate in the Western hemisphere. We went there to learn more from more than three dozen young Chileans who began smoking mostly as minors. WATCH: https://lnkd.in/eiAZSW_x

How does The Examination and our team of investigative journalists approach a second Trump term? For starters: We don't plan to stray an inch from our core mission, which is to help fill a yawning gap in the public’s understanding of preventable diseases that are extracting an incredible toll on families and communities, with no regard to political ideology. We promise to keep asking hard questions, spend far more time than anyone can imagine digging through documents and data, and annoy the hell out of powerful people – in a persistent attempt to get to the truth. And we will be undeterred in critically reporting on an administration whose leader views the news media as “the enemy camp.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/eguFfqEQ

An investigation by The Examination uncovered a well-trodden path of lawyers leaving their government jobs for high-paying positions working on behalf of tobacco and vaping industry clients who want an insider’s view on how to navigate the U. S. Food and Drug Administration, or in some cases, on how to dismantle or weaken FDA regulations they don’t like. In the last 15 years, nearly two dozen FDA lawyers have left the agency and its Center for Tobacco Products and gone on to leverage their FDA experience to advise, litigate for or work with the tobacco and vaping industry. The stakes are high as the tobacco industry makes products linked to more than 8 million deaths a year worldwide — and as the industry steps up its legal challenges to regulations on e-cigarettes and other next-generation nicotine products.

Kasey Oliver, we are grateful to have you join and look forward to continuing our work with your support and input!
I'm very surprised to share that I've joined the Board of The Examination. They’re award-winning #journalists. (I’m not.) They’re investigating inequities in global health. (Still not me.) They’re 1 year old. (Not me!) They’re funny, smart folks on a mission. (ME TOO!) It’s the first Board I’ve served on, and it’s truly a huge surprise and honor to join such a high-caliber nonprofit. I hope I live up to their high expectations. If you’re curious, here’s what I wrote in my letter of interest: > I’m a deep believer in the value of #globalhealth. For the duration of my career, I’ve work in or alongside global health organizations, but my role has not been that of a scientist, researcher, or practitioner. Instead, I have worked with these groups to be able to explain their work and persuade others to join. > I’m also a #philanthropy nerd. At Geneva Global, I lead a team of 20+ philanthropy advisors at supporting donors from and working in countries around the world. I’ve seen many nonprofits like The Examination that have a smart concept, seed support from 1-2 donors, and a chance to build something new. I think I have something to offer in how TE can continue to build relationships with prominent funders of this type of work and what pitfalls have looked like for similar organizations. > Finally, I like how business works. I sit on the executive team of Global Impact Ventures and have a (rarely mentioned) MBA in public and nonprofit management. I know my way around a #budget, people #management, and the challenges of growing a nonprofit. I’d be honored to join the advisory council (and future Board) in The Examination’s fledging stage. Thank you to Nathaniel Heller for making the introduction, to Tricia Puskar for walking me through the process so kindly, and to Ben Hallman for not holding to traditional (and useless) standards of requiring Board members to have held previous Board positions.
