Submit a research packet for your final investigative story, following the guidelines below (due next Thursday, 4/20, by the beginning of class). All research packets should contain the following elements:
1: Your pitch, which should include the problem and central question as well as any edits and/or revisions I've suggested.
2: Who was harmed and how? Be specific. Include names and quotes.
3: Who was responsible (it may be more than one person/company/government office)? Again, be specific, with names and quotes whenever possible.
4: How is this problem systemic? Why should your audience care about this story?
5: A timeline that includes at least 10 research sources. These should be links, if possible. You do not have to write formal footnotes or a bibliography—just links that I can click on to see the source.
6: An evidence map that includes at least five story locations.
7: Submit items 1-6 on Brightspace by the beginning of class next week. Also have it in front of you during next week's class, as we will workshop some outlines in class.
