Package recalls Bolles and the Arizona Project

The Arizona Republic has published a package of stories, photos and audio in remembrance of the 30th anniversary of the bombing that killed reporter Don Bolles. The bombing and Bolles' death 11 days later was the catalyst for the Arizona Project, an important event that had a hand in shaping IRE's early years. The present-day package of stories, researched and written by Arizona State University students, includes articles about the state of investigative journalism today. A survey of IRE members at the 100 largest newspapers in the country found that newspapers today care about investigative stories but frequently don't provide the resources that reporters need to do in-depth work.
