Noon ET Thursday: Free online session on how to use academic research as an investigative reporting tool - Entrepreneur Generations

Neil Bedi, Rachel Lovell and Denise-Marie Ordway

Academic research can be a crucial tool for reporters to investigate problems and hold the powerful accountable. The Journalist's Resource at Harvard University is holding a one-hour webinar at noon ET Thursday to learn how scholarly studies and collaborating with researchers can strengthen news coverage — and help journalists at each stage of the investigative reporting process.

The presenters will be:

• Neil Bedi, a ProPublica reporter. He won the 2021 Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting for a Tampa Bay Times investigation focusing on predictive policing. He was a finalist for the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting for a series investigating high death rates at a Florida children’s hospital’s cardiac surgery unit.
• Rachel Lovell, an assistant professor of criminology and director of the Criminology Research Center at Cleveland State University. She's also an advocate for reporter-researcher collaborations and has helped journalists investigate issues such as sexual violence and human trafficking.
• Denise-Marie Ordway, who trains journalists in research methods as part of her role as managing editor of The Journalist’s Resource. She was a finalist for the 2013 Pulitzer Prize in Local Reporting for an investigation into hazing at Florida A&M University that she led while at the Orlando Sentinel.

This event is free, but registration is required. Registrants will get details on how to join the session.
