Description
In Watchdog Journalism, Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Stephen Berry analyzes the genesis, development, and outcome of six award winning investigative stories. This textbook, primarily intended for courses on investigative reporting, but of real interest to journalism majors and professionals in the field, draws a straight line between the role of reporter and public discourse in a free society. Specifically, the text best reflects proper investigative reporting techniques througha case study approach that examines each of the journalistic pieces in-depth. In particular, Berry reveals, 1) how great investigative stories evolve; 2) how journalists view their role as public watchdog; and 3) how crucial a model of ethical reporting standards is to advancing the role of journalism in our society. Berry underscores his analysis with information obtained through interviews with the respective journalist or journalistic teams. These interviews reveal the experiences of each journalist through each step in the reporting and writing process, as the author explains, "I let the journalists show you how it worked on their stories and reveal what they were thinking while they worked."(p.3)
