Description

How They Did It takes students and reporters behind the curtain to learn the tradecraft behind some of Canada’s most impactful investigative journalism. This podcast series shows—rather than tells—how top journalists find their stories, gather facts, build trust, and break award-winning reports. Led by Dr. Chris Arsenault of Western University and CBC’s Josette Lafleur, the project offers hands-on guidance and shares best practices—providing insight into the often-complicated process of investigative reporting.
