DEVELOP addresses environmental and public policy issues through interdisciplinary research projects that apply the lens of NASA Earth observations to community concerns around the globe. Bridging the gap between NASA Earth Science and society, DEVELOP builds capacity in both participants and partner organizations to better prepare them to address the challenges that face our society and future generations. Teams of DEVELOP participants partner with decision makers to conduct rapid feasibility projects that highlight relevant applications of Earth observing missions, cultivate advanced skills, and increase understanding of NASA Earth science data and technology.

Who Owns The East Valley Tribune and Times Media Group??

Maybe that explains a lot here in Arizona and The Valley of The Sun and here in Mesa: there's what's called "a cozy relationship" with a big media group like Times Media Group and the Sinclair Broadcast Group, based in Salt Lake City and owned by David D. Smith - both are looking to expand their political influences to what you read. You can see some of the public faces in the accompanying image, including ex-Gilbert Mayor John Lewis and ex-Mesa City Manager Mike Hutchison, who have moved up to positions of influence.
Conservative context: Sinclair's management has always been right-leaning — over the years the company and its executives have contributed financially to Republican candidates, offered up primarily conservative think tank perspectives, and aired segments that have given Democrats some pause. 
Sinclair Broadcasting expands its footprint:  Sinclair Broadcasting Group has been expanding its conservative profile with a series of hires and acquisitions in the last few years, and at an accelerated pace since Trump has come to power.
See this report from Axios back on 28 April 2017
Playing ball with conservative Repub Billionaire$ - The Ricketts Family*  from Chicago and owners of the Chicago Cubs sports franchise - the City of Mesa somehow managed to hoodwink taxpayers to the tune of over a $200+ Million$$$$$$-Bond Debt Service Obligation for a new sports stadium for the Chicago Cubs Pre-Season Spring Training @ Riverview.
* This year 2017: Joe Ricketts, the wealthy TD Ameritrade founder who donated almost $1 million to Donald Trump's presidential campaign, bought Gothamist, a collection of local city news sites, (and soon after shut it down).
Media consolidation boosted by political influencers: Other major conservative Repub Billionaire$ -The Koch Brothers - are investing $650 million to support Meredith Corp.'s takeover of Time Inc., and insist that they won't have any managerial or editorial influence over the combined magazine publishe
The Koch investment is another example of how rapid consolidation in the media industry has created more opportunities for partisan influencers to expand their reach.

Support Quality Journalism As an independent, nonprofit news organization, we’ve always put our mission before profits.

Your support today will go so far in expanding our resources and our investigations into issues that matter to Arizonans. Quality journalism makes a difference, and your support makes what we do each day at AZCIR possible. Without you, stories don’t just go unread — they go untold.
