Fentanyl crisis highlighted in illustrated reporting project
from Midday Edition
The fentanyl crisis continues to impact communities across the country and in San Diego. While overdose deaths from fentanyl fell between 2022 and 2023, it is still a leading cause of death in the county. San Diego also remains a major port of entry for the drug. An illustrated reporting project from inewsource highlights the staggering loss caused by fentanyl in our region. Then, continuing our arts and culture coverage — we pull an interview from our archives about an exhibit highlighting youth stories and Arab American art and culture. And finally, what to look forward to this weekend both on the big screen and elsewhere, from concerts to comics. fentanyl 2.png (1135x768, AR: 1.4778645833333333)Guests: Steve Breen, inewsource cartoonist and illustrator Beth Accomando, arts reporter, KPBS Ethan Van Thillo, executive director of the Media Arts Center San Diego Resources: Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA): 1-800-662-4357 American Adoption Centers: (866) 921-2569 Crisis Lifeline: 988 For Narcan, call 211
