Andrea Lopez-Villafaña ( @andrealopezvil) is our neighborhoods reporter. She shares diverse voices, is president of @NAHJSDTJ and a huge advocate for journalism.

She asks a vital question here. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/communities/san-diego/story/2020-04-12/could-covid-19-speed-up-gentrification-in-certain-neighborhoods
U-T watchdog Jeff McDonald ( @SDUTmcdonald) and freelancer Kelly Davis ( @kellylynndavis) are two of the best reporters youâll meet. Last year their series on county jail deaths sparked outrage. Their work is relentless, and righteous. It continues today: https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/watchdog/story/2020-04-12/theyre-filthy-inmates-decry-lack-of-clean-masks-testing-conditions-in-san-diego-jails
Business reporter @PhillipMolnar knows what heâs talking about, whether itâs housing or Star Wars subplots. He handles our @sdut econometer series in which we ask prominent locals their takes on issues of the day.

Brittany Meiling ( @BrittanyMeiling) covers startups and small businesses. She brought the same energy to covering early-stage entrepreneurs as they have themselves. The only way to learn more about such folks is to watch Silicon Valley. Great story here: https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/technology/story/2020-04-10/will-san-diegos-startup-scene-still-new-to-success-survive-the-pandemic
Wendy Fry ( @WendyFry_) and Alexandra Mendoza ( @alemend) have been reporting in Tijuana, our sister city. What they found at its hospitals the other day was heartbreaking: a âwar zone.â They are both doing incredible work. Like all journalism, it matters. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/border-baja-california/story/2020-04-10/a-war-zone-tijuana-hospitals-overwhelmed-by-coronavirus-patients
And it doesnât just matter in theory or ephemerally. It matters in real-time with real world implications. After that story, because of that story, this happened. Their reporting may have saved lives. https://twitter.com/wendyfry_/status/1249138377884086272?s=21 https://twitter.com/wendyfry_/status/1249138377884086272
