While it may seem paradoxical, much of the valuable journalism in the past century and a half has emerged from undercover investigations that employed subterfuge or deception to expose wrong. Kroeger asserts that undercover work is not a separate world, but rather it embodies a central discipline of good reportinga??"the ability to extract significant information or to create indelible, real-time descriptions of hard-to-penetrate institutions or social situations that deserve the publica???s attention. Together with a companion website that gathers some of the best investigative work of the past century, Undercover Reporting serves as a rallying call for an endangered aspect of the journalistic endeavor. 410 0$aVisions of the American press. 606 $aJournalistic ethics$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aJournalism$xSocial aspects$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aReporters and reporting$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aInvestigative reporting$zUnited States$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJournalistic ethics$xHistory. 615 0$aJournalism$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aReporters and reporting$xHistory. 615 0$aInvestigative reporting$xHistory. 676 $a070.430973 700 $aKroeger$b Brooke$f1949-$0975073 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910213856603321 996 $aUndercover Reporting$92220234 997 $aUNINA
