Watchdog 101 Workshop: Investigative Reporting Basics

High school and college journalists and young professional journalists are invited to a special investigative reporting workshop being offered March 30 as part of this year’s Wisconsin Watchdog Awards event.

“Watchdog 101 Workshop: Investigative Reporting Basics,” a free, fast-paced workshop, will be led by staff members of the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism — Dee J. Hall, Andy Hall and Coburn Dukehart. Presenters also will include Martin Kaiser, former editor of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel who now serves as a journalism consultant; Alexandra Hall, a Wisconsin Public Radio investigative reporting fellow; attorney Robert Dreps, an expert in open records; and Jacob Kushner, an award-winning international journalist and former WCIJ intern.

The workshop will include sessions on how to find strong investigative stories, how to use the state’s open records law, the art of the interview, how to use multimedia in investigative journalism, and inside looks at award-winning investigative stories.

The workshop will be held from 2 to 4:45 p.m. on Thursday, March 30, immediately before the Wisconsin Watchdog Awards reception and dinner.

Admission to Watchdog 101 is free. Refreshments will be provided.

Free tickets (regular price $60) for a limited number of students and young journalists will be provided to the Wisconsin Watchdog Awards reception. Contact Andy Hall at ahall@wisconsinwatch.org for more information.
