Watchdog journalism worth time, money and manpower

Article Abstract:

The Toxic Legacy case on the continuing environmental damage that was caused by a long closed Ford Motor Co. assembly plant, which generated tremendous amount of toxic waste, is a perfect example of good watchdog journalism. The story span was half-a- century and therefore needed a big commitment of manpower, money, resources and creativity but it was all worthwhile as it helped in drawing attention to the problem.
