David Anderson and Peter Benjaminson — Investigative Reporting

Indiana University Press 1976 Paperback, 352pp. The spectacular success of the Bernstein/Woodward expose of the Watergate scandal has focused wide attention on the art of investigative reporting. This book, the first devoted specifically to that subject, will interest both students and practicing journalists. Written by two investigative reporters, it tells how to decide on a subject, how to find and evaluate sources, how to approach and interview the sources and the subject of an investigation, how to write the investigative story, how to insure that it gets published, and how to advance the aims of an investigation even after the publication of the first article. Pages tanning. Light wear on cover. (ISBN: 9780253201966). Good.
