Taylor/Tomlin Award for Investigative Journalism
Student Comments
- Although I am a Public Relations major, I found this presentation
interesting because it really conveyed the interaction between
the media and a corporation.
- It was interesting to hear about a real life example of
investigative reporting with DHEC that actually could make
a difference.
- John Monk made some good points on examples of investigative
journalism and how it affects the debate on an issue. Also
I learned basic and fundamental rules and guidelines for reporting
and investigation.
- The points brought up about investigative journalism were
very informative. I didn’t realize how hard it was to get people
to speak about controversial issues. Their work shouldn’t
go unnoticed. The allusion to cavemen and hunting scouts helps
describe investigative journalism. Interesting that Abe Lincoln
was a closet investigative journalist.
- I thought the presentation was very informative and helpful
to know for my major. They kept my attention. They were great!
- I think the work that they did was very interesting. The
time and effort that they put into the DHEC investigation was
worthwhile and very important.
- I really enjoyed the presentation. It allowed me to see
a side of journalism that otherwise I would not have known
much about. I think it is very interesting.
