This Daily Dose makes me particularly proud. Since the launch of OZY Investigations in April, we’ve revealed how disability is forcing couples to divorce, how the U.S. opioid crisis is hitting Mexico and how southerners (pictured) are raising the alarm over the dumping of “Yankee trash.” And last month, we won our first award.
| OZY Investigations marries our unique voice and quality with our ability to find stories that matter where others just aren’t looking. At OZY, we constantly strive to keep you ahead of the curve with fresh trends, profiles, experiences and nuggets of history that you won’t find covered elsewhere but that could shape your life. In 2019, we went one step further, adding an edge to our coverage with deeply reported and well-researched investigative stories. Our unmatched global reach — with nearly 200 reporters across the world — gives OZY a rare perch from which to find and report things that those in positions of influence, whether in the United States or Uganda, would rather keep hidden from the public eye. | READ NOW |

She didn’t have private insurance at the time of her diagnosis, so Medicaid was critical for her to get the care she needed to manage her disability. | READ NOW |
