An even better reference. To help students locate essential information faster, lists of databases, documents, and other sources are now located in comprehensive endof- chapter bibliographies ("Resources for Reporters") and critical reporting tips and procedures are bulleted in the text. A better introduction that helps students put techniques into practice. A new Introduction discusses the professional and public role of investigative reporting and defines terms used throughout the book. Skills chapters are now grouped together up front, helping students to further develop their news reporting and writing skills before moving onto specific types of investigations, and a new "Check It Out" feature guides students in identifying and researching promising stories. Updated with the latest trends and covering even more beats. There’s more on online and broadcast news, prying information from gatekeepers, and using electronic databases. The fifth edition also offers new coverage on investigating the military, religious organizations, sports, entertainment, and the environment.
