Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE and NICAR)

Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE and NICAR) In this free article from Uplink, Gavin Off of the Tulsa World tells how he used databases to report on school crime. This is one of those stories that journalists can do anywhere.

I drive by an elementary school on my way to work every day. More than once there’s been a police cruiser idling in the school’s parking lot with lights flashing and the officer standing nearby.

Dennie Williams icked or fame picked reporters that they can't find the time for a freelancer. Yet indeed they advertise their sites as welcoming freelance writers. It has become so notoriously bad a market for experienced freelancers that some laid off and bought out reporters in Neime, what are all those media owners, news executives, publishers and editors making? It's time for a change! Some charitable journalist or media fanatic with the funds and resources needs to start a website promoting investigative freelance reporters nationwide! That site could quite easily create a list of outstanding investigative reporters nationwide - complete with their resumes, special abilities and past stories. It could then attempt to pair those reporters up with news media not only locally, but nationwide, and even internationally. Who is up to this critical task?! If there is no one stepping forward, then this country is in for some prolonged periods of expanded government and corporate corruption WALL TO WALL!

Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE and NICAR) Eric Nalder profiles fellow IRE member Heather Brooke's role in revealing expense reports for members of the British Parliament. Brooke is also a past participant in The Centre for Investigative Reporting's London summer schools featuring discussions of open records laws and computer-assisted reporting training by IRE.

If the British tabloids knew about the sex-advice column Heather Brooke wrote for the University of Washington Daily nearly two decades ago they might run with it as a salacious news item.

Lee Ann O'Neal

Lee Ann O'Neal Hi, everyone. My question is related to social-network analysis software. I know from a search of IRE listserv archives that many of you who work with SNA use UciNet.

Does anyone have any recent experience with a program called Analyst's Notebook, made by a software firm called i2 Inc, which I think a few of you out there might use? We are considering a software purchase.

And does anyone use anything other than UciNet or Analyst's Notebook?

Anyone using Pajek? Or InFlow?
