WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Investigative Reporting Workshop, a professional newsroom, is a project of the School of Communications at American University. It trains a new generation of investigative reporters by pairing graduate students with seasoned reporters. The teams conduct in-depth investigations on an array of underreported topics of national and international significance, including the banking sector, government accountability, climate change, immigration, and more. This grant will support new and ongoing investigations, and the reporting of these stories in multiple forms for different media.
The MacArthur Foundation awarded American University School of Communication $600,000 between 2010 and 2013.
