About this episode

Jeff German was a legendary reporter in Las Vegas known for holding power to account. He was killed last September, and a local official has been charged with his murder. After German’s death, the Washington Post reached out to the Las Vegas Review-Journal — where he had worked since 2010 — offering reporting resources to help finish the work still sitting on his desk. The story the <a href="https://apple.news/A2cmOx5v0RDWweqqYikyHhQ">Post</a> ultimately took on was assigned to reporter Lizzie Johnson. Johnson spoke with <a href="https://apple.news/T9rjlxm95TtTn3RWUl4SFiw">Apple News In Conversation</a> host Shumita Basu about completing German’s unfinished work — and honoring his legacy.
