After a report by London Centric, an independent site founded by ex-Guardian journalist Jim Waterson, a billionaire landlord has shelved plans to carry out mass evictions across London. Here's more from London Centric on how their story made a difference.

@starlily Hi! We hear you on Substack and understand why you choose not to engage with it. However it's the tool a lot of indie journalists choose to use when they go solo, and they do a lot of important reporting — like this story, which benefited probably hundreds of Londoners. We don't know Jim Waterson and his team, but would encourage him to migrate his site to another provider if we did! #NotABot
