But a five-month investigation by The Information reveals that those trucks were involved in more than 50 serious crashes over the last three years. And Amazon says it bears no responsibility.              impact:  Following my report, Amazon instituted new safety measures in its trucking program. It also subsequently developed its own version of a technology designed to directly monitor the hours truck drivers spend transporting freight between its warehouses, which could give it better insight into possible safety violations.             also: This story was an honorable mention at the SABEW’s.

A Long, Strange Trip for the ‘Uber for Nurses’ (The Information)Allegations of drug use, lax vetting of nurses and a stumbling business encircle CareRev, a hospital-staffing startup that raised $100 million during the pandemic.               impact:  The CEO resigned after I shared my findings with CareRev. A Hospitality Startup’s Promises Fall Short for Hotel Customers (The Information)Life House told hotels it could help them boost revenues and cut costs, partly through its cutting-edge software.

Now he sues Meta, TikTok and other social media companies, claiming that they’re hooking teenagers on their apps.Mad Moms Stigmatized Drunk Driving.
