In a single course at the J-School, Inti Pacheco, '17 M.S. Data, began collaborating on not one but two investigations that would later be published in major news outlets. Here he tells how he and his classmates developed these stories, and how they came to be published with the help of Columbia Journalism School and a career-altering fellowship.

This week, data project fellows, Maya Miller, David Mora and Andrew Rodriguez Calderon, partnered with NBC News on a story that looked at religious liberty cases taken up by the Trump Administration's Justice Department. The team answers questions on what led to the story, their rigorous reporting process, and what advice they have for other journalists covering government agencies.

Betsy West, Fred W. Friendly Professor of Professional Practice in Media and Society, and Julie Cohen ('89 M.S.), documentary filmmaker and television news producer, share the five lessons they learned while making the Oscar nominated documentary about the life of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

The endowed center will help strengthen the ethics curriculum required for all Master of Science students. It will allow the Journalism School to further equip emerging journalists with tools to address the ethical and security dilemmas faced in modern newsrooms.
