The Learning Lab

The Headliners Foundation’s website provides dozens of timely interviews and presentations with leading Texas reporters and editors who share how they produce prize-willing journalism and discuss issues confronting today’s fast-changing media strategies. Many of these interviews reveal how a news outlet’s resources are marshaled and deployed to break a story online and then move quickly to cover all aspects of the story across multiple media formats.

These examples are educational opportunities for working journalists, and can also be utilized by journalism faculty as in-class content or for lesson assignments.

Veteran journalists Mark Morrison, former chair and Governor emeritus, and Neal Spelce, a Governor emeritus, conduct the interviews with our prize-winning journalists. The segments are produced for online distribution by our former chair, Gary Pickle. In these interviews, the focus is on how good journalism gets done. These case studies provide great examples for journalists who want to improve their investigative skills.
