Overview of class
Investigative reporting holds a critical role in democracy, exposing wrongdoing and injustice that threaten the well-being of our country and of the individuals who inhabit it. Investigative reporting has repaired broken laws, put corrupt politicians behind bars and protected people from abuses in government and private-sector systems. In this course, you'll examine the issues, ethics and challenges of investigative journalism while you partner with a working journalist to learn how to use reporting tools that will strengthen any type of story you pursue, as well as prepare you to take advanced investigative reporting courses if you choose.
