I just sent the following "tip" to the San Francisco Chronicle:
So far, if I'm not mistaken, the SF Chronicle hasn't done its own reporting on those detained by King Salman and the Crown Prince in Saudi Arabia. Instead you've used reports from the New York Times, but there's a local angle and information I haven't seen reported.
The son of Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, the one so often mentioned in reports because he's the "Warren Buffett of the Middle East," has a son, Khaled bin Alwaleed, who's been very active in the environmental movement away from fossil fuels. He was instrumental in getting LED lights in Jordan. He's even a vegan and has eaten at Chaya in San Francisco. The emphasis in the reports I've read so far has been on the wealth of Alwaleed bin Talal and how his arrest has affected the stock market, not on the progressive ideals and actions he and his son have championed. Is there some way you could interview his son and do your own reporting?
I then sent a link, urging John Diaz/the Chronicle staff to read it:
