SOLD OUT - Investigative Skills: A Master Class
In this hands-on, tactical workshop using real case studies, we'll discuss investigative strategies to gather the information and sources needed to deliver a revelatory investigative piece -- in short, just about everything. How do you get started? How do you manage your progress to ensure your investigation is as targeted as possible? What tactics increase the likelihood of success?
We'll talk about how to obtain the best publicly available databases to supercharge your reporting. We'll spend time on FOIA tactics, such as "threading" and "piggybacking," and how to stay organized when the records start rolling in. And we'll discuss the importance of building a chronology and other organizational tactics, including the use of AI tools such as Google Notebook and Gemini, that allow you to see into your own files and what other folks have already discovered.
Pre-registration is required and seating is limited.
Investigating Trump
With the curtailment of oversight by the Justice Department, federal inspectors general, the Office of Government Ethics, Office of Special Counsel and Republicans in Congress, the news media has become one of the only remaining entities capable to examining actions by President Trump, his family, donors and his cabinet officials to at least bring some transparency to wrongdoing. Reporters from The NYT, WSJ, Bloomberg, Reuters, ProPublica, The WashPost, NPR, among others, have been doing this work. But it is something that reporters from around the U.S. and the world can help with. We talk about how to take up such an effort, examining some examples from the last 18 months. But we also spend time considering how various news entities in spots across the nation and the world can take up this challenge. Accountability still matters.
