Investigative Reporting Workshop

Call Directions Website

Investigative Reporting Workshop Investigative reporting in collaboration with legacy and nonprofit media. IRW’s fellows learn journalism by doing journalism.

The Investigative Reporting Workshop, based at AU’s School of Communication, pairs student journalists with professional reporters on significant investigations. The Workshop is a training ground for a new generation of investigative journalists—we’ve trained more than 250 fellows to date. IRW interns have been part of Pulitzer Prize-winning work. Our investigations examine some of the most important issues our society is grappling with such as racial justice, the environment, health, law enforcement and immigration. IRW collaborates with major national newsrooms as well as focused nonprofits, including a substantial partnership with The Washington Post.
