TBS Today, Sept. 11

Today we broke the news, thanks to a reader tip, about a body discovered floating in the Berkeley Marina.

Several other news sites picked up the story after we published ours.

This is just one small example of how our work shapes Bay Area journalism and surfaces stories that wouldn't otherwise be told — even if other media outlets don't always credit us for breaking the news.

(We always appreciate those that do, and work to give other outlets their credit where it's due.)

In other news

We've been chasing a few other stories today — and our work is far from over.

Expect some interesting coverage tomorrow.

Earlier in the afternoon, we had a great catch-up in downtown Berkeley with a former mayor.

Now, we're heading into a meeting about UC Berkeley neighbor relations.

We're also continuing to help with efforts in Albany to launch a news site there. If you haven't heard about it, get up to speed and sign up now for updates.
