Michael’s gift is helping us train the next generation of investigative journalists. This reporting is critical to the future of our country. His founding gift endowment has allowed us to establish editorial independence, provide opportunities for students to travel to the field, bring the best investigative journalists in the country to Bloomington for an annual Investigative Journalism Symposium, and ensure that critically important stories are told.
