Students from the Howard Center for Investigative Journalism at Arizona State University have analyzed how governments used $4 billion from the Coronavirus Aid Act to combat homelessness in the new series Caring for COVID’s invisible victims.
The project’s website features in-depth stories, portraits, and explainers of how they analyzed the data behind their findings.
Since its launch on October 22, the University of Toronto’s Investigative Journalism Bureau has received a warm welcome from academics and journalists alike, said investigative reporter and educator Robert Cribb, who will be leading the project.
Most of the international students from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign’s 2019-2020 academic year are from countries with lower daily Covid-19 infection rates than the United States, according to a CU-CitizenAccess analysis.
Last spring, 9,824 international students attended the University from more than 100 countries, according to university data.
International students returning to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign campus this year will be required to quarantine for 14 days upon arrival.
The Journal of Location Based Services has put out a call for papers about location-based data during the COVID-19 pandemic. The articles will be part of a special COVID-19 issue of the journal.
The deadline for article submission is August 31.
As Covid-19 surges again in the U.S., the high percentage of “recovered” cases might be cited as a sign that a vast majority of those infected quickly rid themselves of the virus.
But the “recovered” statistics are incomplete, inconsistent and call into question the accuracy of any total number of recovered cases, according to a review of 50 state public health sites by the Midwest Center for Investigative Reporting.
With the help of two former students, Marcelo Soares has collected data showing that deaths from COVID-19 in Brazil cities are far higher than authorities claim.
“In March, in the early days of the pandemic in Brazil, I was intrigued by the lack of detailed data in the Health ministry,” Soares said. “They only published case counts aggregated by state, with a delay in comparison to what state secretaries published.”
The Investigative Journalism Education Consortium supports the Global Investigative Journalism Network’s condemnation of law enforcement attacks against journalists covering protests in the United States.

A thoroughly rewritten and extensively updated sixth edition of “The Investigative Reporter’s Handbook” can be ordered online in time for the fall academic semester.
Since its debut, the book has been viewed as the definitive guide for investigative journalists. It’s been used widely in journalism classrooms and newsrooms for decades as essential reading and reference.
As the coronavirus outbreak spread in March 2020, many journalism programs across North America did not establish clear policies for how students should conduct interviews.
A majority of journalism schools whose websites and email notices were reviewed by IJEC did not appear to publish any clear measures for students conducting interviews.
