Steve Berry, who covered education here in the 1980s and who won a Pulitzer in 1993 while with the Orlando Sentinel, has written a book, Watchdog Journalism: The Art of Investigative Reporting, due out in August.
Steve was a tenacious reporter here, writing about school merger and school fire code violations, among many other topics. I'm not surprised he's writing about investigative journalism. Given the book's $35 price tag, I'm thinking that Steve, who is now an associate professor of journalism at the University of Iowa, is looking to get it used as a textbook. The Steve I know would have said, "We should take a look at this racket!" :)
