Reviews for Custodians of Conscience: Investigative Journalism and Public Virtue
The most thoughtful book in years about the intellectual assumptions behind investigative journalism... It's hard to imagine any journalist who wouldn't do investigative reporting more thoughtfully, or any citizen who wouldn't read it more insightfully, after this two-teacher seminar.
