In the latest episode of Heliograph Snapshots host Ryan McMahon chats with Pulitzer Prize winning David Cay Johnston about the role of investigative journalism in a democracy.
The IJB had the pleasure of catching up with the New York Times best selling author after the inaugural IJB x IRE cross-border investigative journalism conference to muse about the current state of investigative journalism, its evolution during his career and the implication of the declining literacy rates in North America. Johnston, who is also the co-founder of the DC Report, dives deep into what it was like during “the good old days” of journalism and what it was like to cover Donald Trump before he was president of the United States of America
