'Covering Pollution' is latest in IRE reporting guide series

Investigative Reporters and Editors, Inc. The IRE Journal, Nov/Dec 2004

IRE has published the latest title in its Beat Book Series - "Covering Pollution: An Investigative Reporter's Guide."

The handbook, produced in cooperation with the Society of Environmental Journalists, shows reporters how to tap resources for local investigations into environmental pollution. The book was written by Lori Luechtefeld as a special research project for IRE, but with considerable input from a dozen leading environmental journalists coordinated by SEJ.

Much of the information in the guide focuses on how to use Web-based, federal database searches to get data needed to find and drive environmental investigations. The book also offers numerous tips from veteran reporters on handling other aspects of investigative environmental journalism, including interviews and writing.

This and other books in the beat book series can be ordered online ($15 members, $25 nonmembers) at www.ire.org/store/books or by calling the IRE Resource Center at 573-882-3364.
