William E. Buzenberg, Joan Shorenstein Fellow (Spring 2015) and former Executive Director of the Center for Public Integrity, introduces his newly-published discussion paper, "Anatomy of a Global Investigation: Collaborative, Data-Driven, Without Borders". Buzenberg's paper explores the need for and impact of international collaborations between news outlets. Buzenberg argues that although our world – and its resulting news stories – have become increasingly more globalized in nature, from finance to the environment to crime, most news outlets still find their scope restricted by nation-state borders and thinly-spread foreign correspondents.
