WARNING: Although explicit details won’t be discussed, this episode is about an investigation that covers sexual harassment and sexual violence.
In this episode of the Charlatan Live, Aby and Justin are joined by features editor Kyra Vellinga to discuss how the Charlatan does investigative journalism as a student-run newspaper.
In the fall of 2024, Vellinga published a two-part investigation into sexual misconduct within a CUSA-certified club. Join us as they break down the investigative process, the challenges of investigative journalism and tips for taking care of yourself and your sources.
