Our new podcast begins on the docks of a Massachusetts city. It involves a rogue cop. A demand for drugs. A phrase he'd used again and again: “confidential informant.”
This secretive system in policing has a dark underside. We found it in New Bedford.

Coming soon from @globespotlight.bsky.social: Snitch City.
This is the story of every American city enmeshed in the war on drugs. It’s about a deeply flawed system, the flawed people working within it, and the injustices that can occur when no one’s watching.

Snitch City: A Boston Globe Spotlight Team report coming soon
In a nation addicted to drugs, local police are addicted to informants. This is the story of an American city that, like so many others, is enmeshed in the war on drugs.

A tumor, missed in a scan. A baby deprived of oxygen. A ruptured artery.
Some Steward patients suffered from alleged medical errors — some fatal — and have not seen settlement money.
Meanwhile, executives used their malpractice insurer like a piggy bank.

Steward Health Care raided its own medical malpractice insurance company
Most of the insurer’s assets are in the form of IOUs from Steward Health Care, which went bankrupt in May.
