July 1st, 2009Posted by Laura Oliver in Editors' pick, Journalism
Lorie Hearn, a senior editor at the Union-Tribune, is leaving the title to oversee The Watchdog Institute, which will offer ‘data-driven investigative journalism’, according to this voiceofsandiego.org report.
The venture will be supported through donations and grants and will operate independently from the Union-Tribune.
Exclusive parties, such as the Union-Tribune, will have first access to stories generated by the institute, which will then be made available to other media organisations.
