Arcata — After spending a semester working hand-in-hand with 15 classmates, students from the Journalism & Mass Communications Department's Investigative Reporting class are receiving kudos for the thoughtful and thorough work they did covering an extremely sensitive topic.
The class’ report, titled Nobody’s Fault, probes a suicide by a Hoopa man in the county jail, which took place last summer.
Almost a month after appearing in the North Coast Journal’s May 15 edition the story is catching the attention of Investigative Reporters & Editors, Inc., who recently added the piece to their examples of good investigative reporting and the Society of Professional Journalists has added the story to their News Gems site as an example of the Best American Journalism.
