We IRE I are kicking off the year with the launch of the Campus Coverage Project, which will train college and university students in investigative reporting methods, with a focus on providing better coverage of their own institutions. IRE EXECUTI V E DIRECTOR Mark Horvit IRE has a long history of working with students. In past years we held workshops specifically for the college crowd, and our ongoing Better Watchdog Workshop series of regional sessions – which often are held on campuses – consistently draw students interested in enhancing their coursework. BOA R D OF Dire CTO R S The Campus Coverage Project, made possible by a grant from the Lumina Foundation for Education, PRE S IDE N T will arm student journalists with the skills they need to provide increased scrutiny of school policies and Alison Young, USA Today procedures at campuses large and small throughout the country. In addition to a conference held this month at Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, VICE PRE S IDE N T resources will be made available throughout the year.

Our partners in this effort are the Education Writers Association and the Student Press Law Center.

This latest series stems from a pilot project we did in El Paso in 2009 as part of our Better Watchdog Robert Cribb, Toronto Star Workshop series, which is funded by the Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation and the Las Leonard Downie Jr., The Washington Post, Vegas Sun. The new series is funded by a grant from the Ford Foundation.

You’ll notice a few threads running through all of these efforts. One is the support of numerous foundations that have made investigative journalism training a priority. Without them and others like them, notably the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, none of these training programs would be possible.

  • Presidential Administration Under Trump Daniel A
    Presidential Administration Under Trump Daniel A. Farber1 Anne Joseph O’Connell2 I. Introduction [I would widen the Introduction: focusing on the problem of what kind of president Donald Trump is and what the implications are. The descriptive and normative angles do not seem to have easy answers. There is a considerable literature in political science and law on positive/descriptive theories of the president. Kagan provides just one, but an important one. And there is much ink spilled on the legal dimensions. I propose that after flagging the issue, the Introduction would provide some key aspects of Trump as president, maybe even through a few bullet points conveying examples, raise key normative questions, and then lay out a roadmap for the article. One thing to address is what ways we think Trump is unique for a study of the President and for the study of Administrative Law, if at all.] [We should draft this after we have other sections done.] Though the Presidency has been a perennial topic in the legal literature, Justice Elena Kagan, in her earlier career as an academic, penned an enormously influential 2001 article about the increasingly dominant role of the President in regulation, at the expense of the autonomy of administrative agencies.3 The article’s thesis, simply stated, was that “[w]e live in an era of presidential administration.”, by 1 Sho Sato Professor of Law at the University of California, Berkeley. 2 George Johnson Professor of Law at the University of California, Berkeley. 3 Elena Kagan, Presidential Administration, 114 HARV.

  • THE ALL-IN-ONE AUDIOBOOK — Bob Costas, HBO and NBC Sports Commentator “A Classic Baseball Rivalry Through the Eyes of a Smart, Funny, Intense Manager
    “La Russa is one of baseball’s most intriguing figures. Bissinger is one of our most respected writers. Together, they provide a unique and compelling view inside the game that for so long has fascinated, rewarded, and tortured the Cardinals manager.” THE ALL-IN-ONE AUDIOBOOK — Bob Costas, HBO and NBC sports commentator “A classic baseball rivalry through the eyes of a smart, funny, intense manager. What a combination, what a read!” — Tim Russert, NBC’s Meet the Press A Pulitzer Prize–winning author captures baseball’s strategic and emotional essences through a point-blank account of one three-game series viewed through the keen eyes of legendary manager Tony La Russa. Drawing on unmatched access to a manager and his team, Bissinger brings the same revelatory intimacy to major league baseball that he did to high school football in his classic bestseller, Friday Night Lights. Three Nights in August shows thrillingly that human nature — not statistics — can often dictate the outcome of a ball game. We watch from the dugout as the St. Louis Cardinals battle their archrivals, the Chicago Cubs, for first place, and we uncover delicious surprises about the psychology of the clutch, the eccentricities of pitchers, the rise of video, and the complex art of retaliation when a batter is hit by a pitch. Through the lens of these games, Bissinger examines the dramatic changes that have overtaken baseball, as well as the constants of the sport. Buzz Bissinger is the author of Friday Night Lights and A Prayer for the City. He has won the Pulitzer Prize and the Livingston Award for his journalism and is a contributing editor at Vanity Fair.
