https://blackhillsballoons.com/team/ I’m most hopeful about journalism’s future in the digital age when I see evidence of professional upstarts taking ownership of stories, as Pro Publica<\/a> has with its continuing coverage<\/a> of controversial drilling practices by the oil & gas industry.<\/p>\n

In the old print world, investigative reporters took on big projects that bore fruit with a splashy Sunday feature that sometimes spilled into a week-long series. More often than not, that was the end of the story. And the reporters moved on to the next scandal.<\/p>\n

Look at the body of work racked up by Pro Publica’s Abraham Lustgarten<\/a> since last year, when he started reporting on water pollution caused by a widespread gas drilling practice known as hydraulic fracturing. This piece<\/a> published last November received a lot of attention. That would have been it if Lustgarten was employed at a newspaper like the San Diego Union-Tribune<\/em>, where the story was co-published. (Part of Pro Publica’s mission is to have its big investigative stories published in mainstream newspapers.)<\/p>\n
