Third Coast Pocket Conference

When done well, investigative radio stories have the power to change the world. But it's not easy. All those documents, numbers and unnamed sources who don't want to go on tape make investigative stories seem like the least friendly radio stories on the planet. NPR's Laura Sullivan breaks down the critical pieces that make investigative radio stories an art form of their own, the structure that brings them to life and the moments that leave other forms of journalism in the dust. Recorded at the 2014 Third Coast Conference.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
