Stabile students work with investigative journalism initiativeMarch 30, 2009 The Journalism School’s Stabile Center for Investigative Journalism will collaborate in a new investigative initiative with The Huffington Post, which just announced that it will launch a new program to produce enhanced investigative journalism stories more frequently. The project is called The Huffington Post Investigative Fund. Columbia journalism students, under the guidance of Professor Sheila Coronel, director of the school's investigative journalism program, will work on investigative projects with the Fund. The goal of the Fund is “to produce stories that will have a real impact both nationally and locally,” according to Arianna Huffington, co-founder and editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post. Sheila Coronel, who has consulted with the Fund, said, "This is an exciting development and we look forward to having our students work on investigative projects with this new venture. Now more than ever, we need strong collaboration and funding for journalism that holds individuals and institutions accountable.” The Fund will produce long-form and short, breaking news stories, which will be available for free to other media outlets to publish simultaneously.
