Lunch Talk: Uncovering corruption in the 2020s

Investigative reporting has always been linked to the belief that shining sunlight on wrongdoing will lead to positive change. But in an increasingly relativist culture where shame is in short supply, how do we practice journalism that undergirds, rather than undermines the truth? Andrea Bernstein (Journalism) will be in conversation with Razia Iqbal (SPIA) to examine techniques and best practices required to uncover corruption.

The Humanities Council’s Program in Journalism invites faculty, graduate students and staff to participate in its spring lunchtime talk series, where distinguished visiting journalists and writers discuss their work and pressing issues of the day with University faculty from a variety of disciplines.

These events—typically informal discussions of recent writing —offer intimate looks inside the work of colleagues and an opportunity for dialog across disciplines. Lunch will be provided.
