Martha Mendoza

I was able to listen to Martha Mendoza speak in the Evergreen conference room a week or so ago. What really intrigued me about what she said was her experiences in doing investigative-type journalism. Tracking down people for stories and reaching out to great extents for the sake of news gathering is pretty intense to hear about first-hand. I benifited from hearing what her processes were for working on projects like the Korean War story. I thought it also interesting how she believes FOIA requests should acknowledged in the story. I suppose I had never thought of that before.
