When the Supreme Court of the United States talks about a Southern Oregon city, that's big news. And SCOTUS did indeed talk about Grants Pass this week, hearing oral arguments over the city's treatment of homeless people.

That's just one of the stories covered by JPR News reporters in a typically busy week.

They gather in the JX studio to add some details to the week's issues and events, and what it took to cover them. Our panel consists of JPR News Director Erik Neumann, and reporters Jane Vaughan, Justin Higginbottom, and Roman Battaglia.
