Investigating Power: Honoring Independent Journalism & Investigative Reporting in America

Investigating Power:  Honoring Independent Journalism & Investigative Reporting in America | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

"At this critical juncture in the history of American journalism, as the news media and the nature and extent of original reporting itself undergo a very difficult transformation, we must reflect on the inherent, incalculable value of original, independent reporting in our nation and in the world. Facts are and must be the coin of the realm in a democracy, for government “of the people, by the people and for the people,” to quote President Abraham Lincoln in his Gettysburg Address, requires and assumes to some extent an informed citizenry."

A new website, with the goal to be a comprehensive visual history of America's independent journalism. With interview, timelines, documentaries and more this site is rich with resources and more will be added over time.
