Knight International Journalism Fellow Kathie Klarreich's efforts to create a culture of investigative journalism in Haiti are paying off. Thanks to her work, journalists across the capital region are digging into stories as they track the billions of dollars in earthquake aid that poured into the country. In a Caribbean Journal op-ed, Klarreich says Haitian newsrooms have changed fundamentally in the past 20 months. Reporters she has mentored are investigating stories in newsrooms where editors are more willing to give them the time to break new ground.

Dozens of transitional shelters built for Haitian families left homeless by the 2010 earthquake remain empty now, while many of those same families still live in tents or huts. Reporters chosen for the Fund for Investigative Journalism, developed by Knight International Journalism Fellow Kathie Klarreich, set out to find out what went wrong and why. With guidance from Klarreich and Jane Regan, her partner on the project, what they found was a mountain of good intentions buried under a confusing heap of chaos and distortions.

In the aftermath of Haiti's 2010 earthquake, scores of non-governmental organizations and churches moved in to help.

As hundreds of non-governmental organizations begin to pull out of Haiti, their departures are causing problems in a nation still struggling to recover from the 2010 earthquake. Several journalists chosen to take part in the Fund for Investigative Journalism took a close look at one of those problems.

Lars Willnat, professor of journalism at Indiana University, brought 17 students to visit the campus and Professor Lee Miller's data mining class on March 12.

Miller started the session started with a presentation on some of the top restaurant chains operating in China. Students then did a a data-mining exercise in the form of speed dating, in which they each interviewed 10 of their peers from the other country about their food preferences and eating habits.

After two minutes, they moved to interview the next person.

GlobalPost's GroundTruth blog featured the work of Knight International Journalism Fellow Kathie Klarreich, working in Haiti to build a network of trained investigative journalists. It details the many, many challenges journalists in that country face, not the least of which includes newsrooms that still have not recovered from the devastation of the January 2010.
