Six journalists from news organizations large and small deconstructed their Pulitzer Prize-winning work and shared their down-to-earth tips during a seminar on Oct. 22 at the Columbia Journalism School. Speaking to a capacity crowd, they told how they used investigative techniques to dig into remarkable stories that were waiting to be discovered.
