Overview of class
This course is part of the Chicago Medill Investigative Program for students in the MSJ program's investigative specialization and BSJ students who have been selected based on applications. Only students who completed the winter quarter investigative prep course as part of the Chicago Investigative Project may enroll. During this spring quarter course, students will delve deeply into the team investigation, working together on the group project and also producing their individual stories that are part of the package, to be completed by end of the quarter and published. Building on the work done in the winter quarter, students will use investigative tools including FOIAs, public documents, court filings and more, as well as doing interviews, field reporting, data analysis and ultimately writing, multi-media production and fact-checking of the final stories and related content.
