Alex Ip is the editor-in-chief of the independent news site The Xylom and an environmental engineering undergraduate student at Georgia Tech Institute of Technology.

On Wednesday’s edition of “Closer Look,” Ip talked with show host Rose Scott about his work of fact-checking what the City of Atlanta called “myths” about the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center.  

Ip further explained the findings of his report and talked about being asked by staff from Georgia Tech’s “Serve-Learn-Sustain” (SLS), to write a first-hand reflection for SLS’s newsletter and the university’s website about his reporting on the proposed $90-million police and fire training facility.
