Proving the value of investigative reporting

It’s an amazing time for investigative reporting.

Sometime back, I commented here that President Trump has a lot to learn. In particular, I observed that barring certain reporters or publications from his press conferences wouldn’t do anything to block their ability to report on his administration.

And that’s certainly been proved to be the case with the reporting “war” between the Washington Post and the New York Times pushing all the large national news organizations to up their reporting games!

This past week was an amazing whirl of investigative revelations.

And we’re the ones who benefit!

And beyond the news, good commentary about the news. For example:

NY Times: “Washington Post, Breaking News, Is Also Breaking New Ground

CNN: “Journalism’s epic week: surprises, scoops and a newspaper war

WWD.com: “The Washington Post’s Marty Baron on the Importance of Investigative Journalism

Aljazeera: “The increasing importance of investigative journalism

Anyway, it’s Saturday. Have fun out there.
