How We Choose the Stories You See

This is a placeholder post and will be replaced with original commentary.

Justice Now AZ collects headlines from public news feeds — local Arizona outlets, national criminal justice newsrooms, and targeted news searches.

Each story is sorted into a level (Local, Regional, National) and one or more sections (Policing; Prosecution & Courts; Jails & Prisons; Probation & Parole; Post-conviction & Reentry; Oversight & Transparency) based on its source and its wording.

Stories that mention themes such as oversight, accountability, transparency, deaths in custody, misconduct, audits, lawsuits, abuse, investigations, or ombudsman work are weighted higher and may be featured in Oversight Watch.

Every headline links to the original publisher. We never republish full articles.
