Welcome!
Welcome to Investigative Journalism, JRN-460, a course exploring the watchdog role of American journalists who serve the public interest by observing and reporting the activities of governments, corporations, educational institutions, communications media, health care organizations, and environmental and safety institutions. The journalists' function of shedding light in dark corners is especially important when organizations are in a position to restrict the free flow of information.
Investigative reporters discover facts and write articles that highlight the need for change as they reveal fraud, waste, mismanagement, wrongdoing, conflict of interest and abuse of authority. In this capstone experience, seniors in journalism are learning about the research tools and reporting techniques that allow such stories to be told.
