Last night we held our annual San Antonio Express-News Prep Sports Awards. We recognized 35 outstanding boys and girls athletes, including our inclusion athletes. Patrick P.Hill was our outstanding MC. He kept the 300+ entertained and the program moving. Huge shout out to Spurs Sports & Entertainment point guard, Trey Jones for handing out every award! Those athletes will never forget that. The Express-News has been covering San Antonio area high schools for 150. As I opened the awards program, I quipped, “we are the OG of content creators.” It received a rounds of applause. Proud of the kids, their parents and coaches. I am equally proud of Sara Bryant and her marketing team and our Sports team, especially David Hinojosa, Jeff Perkins and Ronald H. for their tireless coverage of these amazing kids. Local journalism matters and it is easy to support. Simply subscribe to your local paper. 🙏🏼

We are proud to invest in dedicated mental health support for our journalists. "Media is very different from any other industry I've worked in,” said Renee Peterson, Senior Vice President of Human Resources at Hearst Newspapers. “The journalists are on the frontlines every day, covering breaking news stories, wildfires, riots, and what's happening in the city of San Francisco, for example."

Thank you, Kevin Fagan and Carlos Avila Gonzalez, for the important work you do and for sharing your personal stories.

The latest collaboration between the DevHub and the San Francisco Chronicle delves into mortgage rates. The team visualized the "lock-in effect" on housing markets using data from the Federal Housing Finance Agency. The “lock-in effect” is a phenomenon where home buyers flooded the market in the early pandemic when mortgage rates hit record lows. However, with rates now twice as high, many homeowners are left stuck, resulting in fewer houses on the market. Credits: Reporting by Christian Leonard.
