Investigative Journalism Web Links

Barbara Oliver, Director of Research for the NY Times, was a guest lecturer at my Research Methods course at the Graduate Journalism School last week and was kind enough to share the following list of links used at the Times for investigative stories.

The sites might be useful for helping students at the reference desk and for updating online subject guides.
