Description: In the news this week, the tragedy of Hurricane Harvey caused untold damage and pain, but thanks to social media we also saw a great number of heroes, including journalists on the ground.

Our Metric of the Week is the Twitter Ratio, and we go one-on-one with Molly de Aguiar, managing director of the News Integrity Initiative to find out who has the inside track on the millions in grants they’ll be giving out.
