IRE recently published an environmental pollution beat book, "Covering Pollution," in collaboration with the Society of Environmental Journalists. The book shows journalists how to get to the heart of an investigation quickly and without waiting months for Freedom of Information requests to be fulfilled. Included is information about how to use Web-based, federal database searches and tips from veteran reporters about how to handle investigative reporting aspects such as interviews and writing.
