Surviving an Unlivable Wage
The restaurant industry has driven a significant amount of economic growth since the Great Recession, but many restaurant employees continue to end up hungry due to a two-tiered wage system that allows tipped workers to be paid as little as $2.13 an hour. CBSN Originals' Adam Yamaguchi travels to Indiana to explore the impact of tipping as a primary source of income for people in one of America’s fastest-growing workforces.
CBSN Originals | War of Words
As the US faces an unprecedented public health emergency, one thing stands in the way — trust in truth. For years now, Americans in large numbers have come to dismiss science, established fact, and the media. And the Internet has helped bring us to this critical moment in time. In this CBSN Originals presentation, War of Words, we examine how we got here, and see how the Internet-fueled parallel universe threatens to tear at the fabric of American society.
Rising Tide: Priced Out In Miami
Miami is often seen as ground zero for the impacts of climate change in the U.S., but the fallout goes well beyond flooded streets.

In this episode of CBSN Originals' REVERB series, Adam Yamaguchi explores climate gentrification in Miami.
Extremists Next Door
In recent years, gaming and anonymous social media sites have become breeding grounds for right-wing extremists. Populated by (mostly) young white men disenchanted with their place in society, the platforms have become spaces where hate is normalized and disaffected young people are susceptible to radicalization. CBSN Originals' Adam Yamaguchi reports parents, activists and even some former white nationalists are trying to find ways to stop it, but as much of the rhetoric is cropping up on mainstream platforms it's proving to be an uphill battle.
The War on Science
In the age of misinformation, evidence-based science is under fire. Private schools with questionable curriculums, public schools that sidestep scientific topics, and a growing abundance of conspiratorial YouTube videos are hindering our ability to separate scientific facts from beliefs or opinions. Yet as Adam Yamaguchi reports in this CBSN Originals documentary, educators are finding ways to fight back.
