New: Hours after ProPublica reported on how a federal probe of a drugs-for-votes scheme in Puerto Rico's prisons got quashed after the 2024 elections, some of the territory’s political leaders made public calls for investigations into the allegations. propub.li/4tjEEyd
“The issue here is more about whether the processes were followed and whether there was corruption in giving up the case.”

“We have to convince the consumer that this sugar is good for you' ... Fasicinating look at conflicts of interest in the maple syrup promotion world by @willexamine @egabler @nytimes @anjalitsui @RaquelRutledge
A biomedical researcher has exaggerated his findings to suggest that maple syrup could help prevent serious diseases. Together with @nytimes, we reviewed 15 years of work and found he has distorted the real-world implications of his research.

This session will give you what you need to go to your editor and say I want to write 14,000 words with no nut graph.
Which is exactly what every editor wants to hear.

How can journalists cover controversial issues in a way that doesn't automatically turn people off, but instead, invites people to learn and be curious about different viewpoints?
Here are some pointers from @john_diedrich. ⬇️ trustingnews.org/how-a-local…

1 year since @ben_hallman @AsraaReports + others launched a news outlet doing things differently.
Long way to go, but I've realized a dream working with @RaquelRutledge + amazing reporters.
(And my story is a finalist @LoebAwards alongside my old employer @ICIJorg. Kinda cool)
🎉 It’s our birthday!
One year ago today, The Examination launched as an independent nonprofit newsroom to deliver on what we consider a distinct and vital mission: to help bring about a healthier world through independent investigative journalism. buff.ly/3MJCvZR

Dunno, but I'm gonna bet this is the first time an Australian-Cameroonian-Ghanaian reporting trio has been a finalist for the Loeb Awards.
I've spent my career making sure reporters outside the US are recognized for their work so this nomination means a lot. Thanks @LoebAwards
🙌We are proud & excited to recognize the 2024 #LoebAwards Career Honorees: @dianabhenriques with the Lifetime Achievement Award and @mvpeers with the Minard Editor Award. Be there as we celebrate them on Oct. 10 in @rockcenternyc's iconic Rainbow Room! social.prnewswire.com/s/EqXY…

For those at #IRE24 (there are SO MANY PEOPLE here -- big kudos to @IRE_NICAR and its wonderful staff), @RaquelRutledge and I will be gabbing from 5-6 today in Platinum Salon 6.
So come see what a Platinum Salon is. (And could there possibly be 6?)
At #IRE24, co-authors @bykenarmstrong and @RaquelRutledge will talk inspiration and structure, what makes a successful partnership, and how to keep a narrative rolling without sacrificing your investigative findings. schedules.ire.org/ire-2024/i…

Marshall saw "a natural progression from the ministry to muckraking."
"Both are valid ways of serving a higher cause."
"God calls us to publish the truth, not propaganda."
In this 2018 essay, he plumbed the biblical basis for investigative reporting:

.@marshallallen is the only person I know who started with a theology degree, then became an investigative journalist.
He had a powerful perspective on what it meant to do accountability journalism as a Christian.
His death is such a loss for us all:
