This panel will analyze the motivation and methods behind book-length investigative reporting projects. Topics planned for discussion include developing story ideas worthy of long-form treatment, extended access to subjects and sources, tools and techniques for organizing reporting and research, and conceptualizing a narrative arc from first to last chapter. The differing investigative styles of the panelists - Suki Kim's risk-taking immersive reporting and David Cay Johnston's renowned weave of data and documents  - will be highlighted.
