How The Whittle School Failed
One resolution we have at City Cast DC is holding those in power to account. We are local journalism after all! But we rely on listeners like you to help us find those institutions to hold accountable. One episode from earlier this year that fit in that camp, was our chat with Washington Business Journal’s Hannah Denham this August, about her investigation into the now defunct international education center The Whittle School, and it’s the type of accountability journalism we want to bring you even more of in 2023.
Go find our newsletter Hey DC online if you want more! Plus, we’re on Twitter! Follow us at @citycast_dc.
If you have a story in mind that we should investigate, leave as a voicemail about it at 202-642-2654.
