Investigative Reporting Workshop at American University

Based out of American University in Washington D.C., the Investigative Reporting Workshop was founded in 2008 by American University professors Charles Lewis (also founder of the Center for Public Integrity) and Wendell Cochran. It is dedicated to “conducting significant, multimedia investigative journalism projects on a national and international level.” Last year, they published eight investigations on subjects ranging from nuclear energy to regional airlines, working with partners like PBS’ Frontline, The Washington Post, and msnbc.com. The workshop’s iLab is dedicated to conducting research about investigative journalism itself.
