In fact, the local paper @BrunsDailyNews wrote about Ahmaud& #39;s killing the day after it happened, and has published more than 40 follow-up articles. https://twitter.com/Poynter/status/1260231005249712128">https://twitter.com/Poynter/s...

The newspaper pressed local officials when they didn& #39;t identify who shot Ahmaud, and when prosecutors wouldn& #39;t explain why they recused themselves. https://thebrunswicknews.com/news/local_news/local-da-s-office-cites-conflict-of-interest-in-shooting/article_a44dd354-1b0d-51d5-8c33-dc66b319f343.html">https://thebrunswicknews.com/news/loca...

Local reporter Larry Hobbs obtained the transcripts from two 911 calls moments before Ahmaud& #39;s killing. "I just need to know what he was doing wrong," the dispatcher asked. The caller didn& #39;t answer. https://thebrunswicknews.com/news/local_news/dispatcher-what-was-he-doing-wrong/article_fe51cdd4-3bb6-5815-9dec-ddcdc8f879f8.html">https://thebrunswicknews.com/news/loca...

The local newspaper also provided a critical space for editorials and letters calling for authorities to take action in Ahmaud& #39;s case, even before the video was released. https://thebrunswicknews.com/opinion/letters_to_editor/gbi-should-investigate-arbery-shooting/article_f1ca297c-7eda-5523-8d2f-c14c2528fbf8.html">https://thebrunswicknews.com/opinion/l...

The video, which was first published by a local radio station, of course changed everything. But the story had been on the front page of the local newspaper for weeks.
