In this episode of Investigative Postcast, Lee Coppola talks with Jim Heaney about his career as an investigative reporter and journalism educator.

 

Coppola discussed the best story he did for The Buffalo News, which became the basis of a book and Hollywood film; his experience as a television reporter; and what prompted him to take the job as dean of the School of Journalism at St. Bonaventure University. Coppola also discussed what’s been gained and lost as reporters take advantage of technology to research and produce stories.

Investigative Post is honoring Coppola for distinguished service to local journalism at its gala dinner next Wednesday, Oct. 19. The dinner features Margaret Sullivan, media columnist for The Washington Post, who was interviewed on a previous podcast, as keynote speaker. Tickets for the dinner can be purchased online.
