How NPR and Floodlight teamed up to uncover fossil fuel "news mirages" across the country
Briefly

Stories are told - but with an agenda. Facts displeasing to Chevron are omitted; hard truths softened. The company is seeking to get its point of view across and to convey that it can be trusted.
The Richmond Standard is structured as a mouthpiece of Chevron, unlike other outlets influenced by fossil fuel money. Lack of independent news in Richmond hinders residents' ability to grasp the full impact of the company on their lives.
Residents express frustration over the lack of independent reporting, especially in critical situations like a Chevron refinery flaring incident. They desire unbiased news coverage to understand local issues accurately.
