I’m Katya Schwenk and I joined The Lever as a reporter in January. That same week, a door plug blew out mid-flight on a Boeing airplane, shocking the country. My colleagues and I were immediately sifting through court documents and on the phone with sources in Washington, trying to understand how such a disaster could be allowed to happen. 

In the days and weeks that followed, we broke national stories on safety issues at Boeing, revealing fraud allegations at a key Boeing supplier and the aviation company's years-long lobbying blitz in Washington. 

Our Boeing coverage, I learned during my first year at The Lever, was just one example of what we do best as a newsroom. When news breaks — whether that's a chemical plant disaster in Georgia, a cargo ship catastrophe in Baltimore, or the auto lobby's dealings in New York — The Lever is chasing down the story and exposing the corporate greed at the heart of it. 

It’s empowering to know that my work is supported directly by our readers. If you’re able, consider taking this forever discount and become a paid subscriber today during our drive:
