Our featured speaker will be Kathleen Johnston, Founding Director of the Michael I. Arnolt Center for Investigative Journalism at Indiana University.
-"Five-star stays and Michelin-starred meals: Private interest groups foot the bill for Indiana representatives’ international travel."
-"Indiana’s nonprofit hospitals spend little to assist Hoosier patients."
These are just two of the recent stories published by students at the Arnolt Center for Investigative Journalism at IU, a thriving enterprise with more than 50 student reporters and partnerships with regional and national outlets such as the Indy Star and Gray Media/Investigate TV.
Kathleen Johnston, a former investigative producer at CNN and CBS, will talk about the crucial role played by investigative journalism in an increasingly polarized world; the center’s work in filling news gaps in Indiana and beyond; and the importance of preparing young journalists to hold elected officials and others accountable amidst a climate of disinformation and distrust of the news media.
