Investigative Reports for Radio
Thursday, March 1st from 2-3 pm EST.

Interested in getting more investigative reporting on your airwaves? Join Dan Grech, Radio News Director from WLRN-Miami Herald News and Susanne Reber, Deputy Managing Editor of NPR Investigations, as they discuss how to build local and national investigations.

This session will explore: What’s involved in starting your own investigative team? How can you benefit from an emerging network of non-profits doing in-depth work around the country? What does it take to manage an investigative partnership? And what kind of support will you need from your station leadership to complete an investigation? Join Dan and Susanne for a one-hour webinar to discuss how they got their teams off the ground and to take your questions on the joys and challenges of digging deep.

This webinar explores the kinds of low-cost collaborations which are possible, and
offers advice on how to recruit workmates for those journalistic projects desired by audiences and treasured by program directors.
