The Art of the Deep Dive
The "art of the deep dive" refers to an exhaustive investigation and analysis of a complex issue, going far beyond surface-level daily news coverage. Overall, it emphasizes commitment to a craft that values truth, accuracy, and depth over sensationalism and speed. These award-winning journalists take us behind the scenes in the recent election, at the Justice Department, and during one of our country’s worst national disasters.
