Investigative Journalism by William C Gaines
Uses a case-study method to teach readers what investigative reporting is, why it is important, and how it is practiced. The case studies are punctuated by reflective questions and answers that systematically guide readers through the narrative. It mimics the path of a reporter gathering information and working on a story.
