You are here: Home / Archive / Feature Stories / The Need for Investigative Journalism
Published: December 9, 2018 by VPR Producer

Investigative journalism is a necessity in a democracy. Independent journalists putting in long hours to serve as watchdogs for our government can have long-lasting ramifications, just look at the impact Woodward and Bernstein made with their Watergate investigations. We talk to one expert about the current state of investigative journalism in America and what can be done to ensure the watchdogs stay in business.
