"Kick kneecaps and question the mighty." (interview with Bob Greene, Pulitzer prize-winning journalist and founding member of IRE) (Interview)

Article Abstract:

Bob Greene, a Pulitzer prize winner in 1970 and head of Newsday's investigative journalists, believes that newspapers should provide more information on atrocities that cannot be exposed by television. Investigative journalism is a natural consequence of the Woodward/Bernstein investigation of Watergate, and many newspapers are popular because of their reports on controversial subjects. Reports on the Watergate scandal highlighted the glamour involved in reporting on the elite and attracted the attention of most newspapers. Greene, who retired last year, plans to start a journalism school at Stony Brook as he feels that minority communities should have a means to voice their opinions.

From slave narratives to Pulitzer Prizes

Article Abstract:

The progress of investigative journalism is traceable from the early slave narratives of the 1700s to the awarding of the 1993 Pulitzer prize to 'Akron Beacon Journal' for its coverage of race relations. The slave narratives exposed the social conditions of US minorities and the 1960s Civil Rights Movement further helped to revive amd refine investigative reporting. Such reporting techniques reveal that US minorities are the victims of social, environmental, economic, and judicial racism and are also denied access to information technology.
