Description
Book SynopsisThrough in-depth interviews with award-winning investigative reporters and detailed analyses of the stories that brought them professional acclaim, the authors explain how journalists resolve, practically if not conceptually, the paradox of a press that is committed to exposing wrongdoing and is at the same time adamant about its disinterest in questions of right and wrong.
Trade ReviewThe most thoughtful book in years about the intellectual assumptions behind investigative journalism... It's hard to imagine any journalist who wouldn't do investigative reporting more thoughtfully, or any citizen who wouldn't read it more insightfully, after this two-teacher seminar. -- Carlin Romano The Philadelphia Inquirer
