| New York Times reporter Mr. Ian Urbina |
This morning we hosted Pulitzer Prize winning
New York Times reporter Ian Urbina, a St. Albans School graduate. Mr. Urbina spoke about the process of investigative journal in general, and then gave SPS insight into his recent work on the role of OSHA in addressing (or failing to address) long-term health hazards in the American workplace. (

During the extensive Q & A that followed, Mr. Urbina also discussed his work with the team that uncovered the prostitution scandal that forced New York Governor Eliot Spitzer from office--work for which Mr. Urbina and his colleagues received the Pulitzer Prize.
In preparation for Mr. Urbina's visit, the SPSers read his OSHA article, as well as discussing a Harvard Kennedy School case study focusing on the undercover "hidden camera" variety of investigative journalism. (
