Five different Westchester County stories showed up as breaking news this week — a task force meeting, a hospital settlement, a jobs-training bill, a transit grant, and an airport upgrade. Every one had already happened, one of them fifteen months ago. This episode breaks down how local information decays and recirculates, and why it matters beyond this one research process.
