Pulitzer Prize-Winning Boston Globe Reporter Creates Investigative Journalism Courses at Northeastern UniversityDistinguished Professor Walter Robinson introduced two innovative investigative reporting courses to Northeastern’s School of Journalism. Selected based on faculty recommendations and student work, the small groups of students work together to uncover their stories and divvy up the reporting and research as Robinson acts as their editor. He helps to guide them throughout the practice of “prospecting” a story and spends several classes discussing the process of interviewing. In the Spring and Fall semesters' of '07, the students produced six page one investigative stories that ran in The Boston Globe.
