The New Year’s resolution for all of us here at Reveal is to talk with you more often.

And we’re not wasting any time: Our award-winning investigative radio show and podcast is going weekly starting this week. The lineup in the first couple of months alone will plunge you into worlds you might not have imagined, seeking not just to inform you, but also to motivate you to get involved, to help spur change.

But we’re not just a radio show and podcast. Today, we are publishing our first major investigation of 2016 online, exposing how companies are contracting out discrimination to temp agencies. For real. In America. Now. The radio and podcast versions will roll out this weekend and early next week. Check your local public radio station schedule or sign up for the podcast. You also can subscribe to our newly redesigned newsletter to get links to our latest stories and other investigations that catch our eye from around the world, delivered straight to your inbox.

Expect to see more frequent content posted on our website, RevealNews.org, alongside regular installments of our signature deep, long-form journalism. Read our new blog, Dig, to catch quick glimpses of the topics and stories we’re pursuing; follow us on our social media channels to share your thoughts about our stories, interact with our reporters or just join a community of people interested in in-depth reporting. We also want to hear from you: By subscribing to our podcast, newsletter and social media channels, you’ll hear about opportunities to share your experiences with our reporters. Today, we’re starting with a survey about workplace discrimination that will help inform future investigations.

Let’s keep the conversation going.

P.S.: In case you missed it, here’s our holiday gift to you.

Amy Pyle is editor in chief at Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting, guiding a team of editors, reporters and producers who produce unique in-depth national stories for the web, radio and video. Her primary goals are exposing wrongdoing and holding those responsible accountable, and increasing diversity in the ranks of investigative reporters. In the past year, CIR has established a fellowship program for aspiring investigative journalists of color and another for women filmmakers. Amy has worked at CIR since 2012, previously serving as a senior editor and managing editor. Rehab Racket, a collaboration with CNN that she managed on fraud in government-funded drug and alcohol rehabilitation, won the top broadcast award from Investigative Reporters and Editors. The Reveal radio version of an investigation she oversaw on an epidemic of opiate prescriptions at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs won a George Foster Peabody Award. Previously, as assistant managing editor for investigations at The Sacramento Bee, she managed “Chief's Disease,” a story about pension spiking at the California Highway Patrol, which won George Polk Award. Amy worked as a reporter and editor at the Los Angeles Times for more than a decade where, as assistant city editor, she directed coverage from the parking lot of the Times’ quake-damaged San Fernando Valley office in the early morning hours after the 1994 Northridge earthquake. That work earned the 1995 Pulitzer Prize for spot news reporting. Amy has a bachelor’s degree in French from Mills College and a master’s degree in journalism from Northwestern University.

Kevin Sullivan is a former executive producer of Reveal’s public radio show and podcast. He joined Reveal from the daily news magazine show “Here & Now,” where he was senior managing editor. There, he helped lead the expansion of the show as part of a unique partnership between NPR and WBUR. Prior to radio, Sullivan worked as a documentary film producer. That work took him around the world, with stories ranging from reconciliation in Northern Ireland to the refugee crisis during the war in Kosovo.

Following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Sullivan launched an investigative unit for CBS in Baltimore, where he spearheaded investigations on bioterrorism and the U.S. government’s ability to respond to future threats. He also dug into local issues. His exposé of local judges found widespread lax sentencing of repeat-offender drunken drivers. Other investigations included sexual abuse by Roman Catholic priests, and doctors who sold OxyContin for cash. Sullivan has won multiple journalism awards, including several Edward R. Murrow awards, a Third Coast / Richard H. Driehaus Foundation Competition award and an Emmy. He has an MBA from Boston University.
