WaPo announces plans to increase investigative journalism staff
By John Bowden - 06/20/19 02:18 PM EDT

The Washington Post announced Thursday that it would hire nearly a dozen investigative journalists to supplement existing teams and expand the Post's existing investigations unit.

In a press release, the Post's editors said the expansion would include five additions to the Post's Investigative Unit and five other investigative journalists to other beats in the newsroom, including foreign policy and climate change.


“The Post has a long and distinguished history of groundbreaking investigative journalism,” said executive editor Martin Baron in the press release.

“This expansion is very much in that tradition, and it accentuates one of our newsroom’s greatest assets," he continued. "Our goal is to further strengthen an already robust Investigative Unit and to continue distributing investigative firepower throughout the newsroom.”

They will be on  a tight leash.  You only investigate what we tell you and we better like what you find!

Wow, how impressive, since hiring even one actual investigative journalist would be a 100% increase in staffing.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
