IRE and the Institutionalization of Investigative Journalism
Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE) has been a leading actor in the establishment of investigative reporting as an institutional asset in American and worldwide journalism. The organization has upheld standards of the practice and provided training while serving as a primary force in creating collaboration as a standard for investigative projects with national and worldwide impacts and supporting the creation of other nonprofit investigativ…
The Ethics of Care as a Universal Framework for Global Journalism
The search for universal ethics among journalists has yet to receive general acceptance because previous attempts have sought a code of ethics to which all journalists around the globe could agree. Yet, starting with the universal principle of caring for others leads to seeing the feminist approach to ethics, namely the ethics of care and feminist discursive ethics, as a partial approach toward a universal ethic for journalists. Building on the w…
Sebastian Junger's War , “Expert Testimony,” and Understanding the Story
Using epistemological theory, this paper examines how literary journalists can know their subjects well. Sebastian Junger used multiple methods to report the experiences of soldiers in combat, which became his book War.

The Energy Crisis and the Media: Mobil Oil Corporation's Debate with the Media 1973–1983
During the 1970s, Mobil Oil Corporation launched a public relations effort that set off a clash of titans—with the oil company on one side and the nation's media on the other—over who would set the agenda for public debate on energy policy. Although the campaign's purposes fell within the traditional schema of public relations, the way the company carried it out set a new benchmark for corporate communications. By taking on media giants such as t…

The narrative strategies of mid-20th-century investigative journalists who published in leftist American magazines expanded the kinds of truths that could be told. Using specific cases of institutional failure, the journalists maneuvered the message through a variety of narrative techniques, including direct advocacy of alternatives, to the larger question of capitalism's morality. Their style offers an alternative model for American investigativ…
Epistemic responsibility and narrative theory: The literary journalism of Ryszard Kapuscinski
The combination of epistemic responsibility from moral philosophy and narrative theory provides a foundation for establishing literature-based standards for judging the quality of literary journalism. The application of these theories to the work of Polish journalist Ryszard Kapuscinski provides an elaboration of standards to which other literary journalists can be held. These literary standards can accommodate the demands of journalistic integri…
