Investigative series published by IJEC

"The Multimillion-Dollar Head Fake," the investigative series written by Media & Cinema Studies Professor Jay Rosenstein, has been selected for publication by the Investigative Journalism Education Consortium.  The series, the result of three years of investigative research, takes a detailed look at the inner-workings of the finances of the U of I's athletic department.  It's been published here. 

The Investigative Journalism Education Consortium (IJEC) brings together the experience and knowledge of university journalism professors who teach investigative and data/computer-assisted reporting, write about those forms of journalism and oversee student stories. In addition, the consortium encourages collaborations among professors and students from different universities.

The consortium also showcases and links to investigative and data stories, especially those that are collaborative, and shares relevant syllabi and teaching tips.
