Tip Sheet: Tips and Tools for Investigative Science Reporting

CASW Connector

On January 29, 2026, top investigative reporters Charles Piller of Science and Liza Gross of Inside Climate News discussed the ins and outs of investigative science reporting. Piller is the recipient of CASW’s 2025 Victor Cohn Prize for Excellence in Medical Science Reporting. His high-impact reporting has led the National Institutes of Health to suspend a clinical trial and raised questions about the role of amyloid proteins in Alzheimer’s disease, as he detailed in his 2025 book, "Doctored: Fraud, Arrogance, and Tragedy in the Quest to Cure Alzheimer’s." Gross’ reporting focuses on toxics, environmental health and justice, and the misuse of science for private gain. She has won several awards and is the author of "The Science Writers’ Investigative Reporting Handbook: A Beginner’s Guide to Investigations." Check out the tip sheet for advice and resources, as well as a recording of the Chat.

Reporting on Flaws in Science in an Era of Mistrust

"Covering issues of scientific integrity, such as fraud, fabricated data, or problematic publishing practices, is particularly challenging in political climates where science is under attack. Journalists may worry that stories shining a light on scientific misconduct may stoke public mistrust in science or be weaponized to justify cuts to the research enterprise. Maintaining good journalism practices is one way to avoid fueling mistrust as you cover flaws in science." Also available in Spanish.

How To Pitch Mongabay Stories on Climate and Indigenous Communities

Institute for Independent Journalists

"Global nonprofit newsroom Mongabay covers environmental change and its consequences for communities. Editor Latoya Abulu leads the Indigenous news desk, and focuses on how Indigenous communities navigate climate change and other threats. She relies heavily on a robust network of freelancers around the world, and hopes to find more contributors based in Canada and the United States, particularly in California. Latoya spoke with IIJ leader Erika Hayasaki about how to avoid common pitfalls in pitching stories about Indigenous communities. Mongabay pays between $0.40 and $1 per word for stories that are full of complexity and show a connection to Indigenous communities, and may also cover travel expenses. Latoya says that pitches incorporating nuance and pre-reporting stand out."

Causes and Responses to Extreme Winter Weather

Metcalf Institute and Solutions Journalism Network

"Recent winter extremes have raised new questions about how a warming Arctic may be reshaping weather far beyond the polar regions. Hosted by URI's Metcalf Institute and the Solutions Journalism Network, this training explores the links between Arctic ice loss, polar vortex disruptions, and the growing frequency of severe winter weather across the Northern Hemisphere. Panelists will examine what scientists know, where questions remain, and how journalists can responsibly report on these connections. The discussion will also focus on solutions — such as grid resiliency efforts in Texas — that show how communities are adapting to these emerging risks. The live training is open to working journalists only. After the event, a recording of the training will be available to the public for free on the Metcalf Institute and Solutions Journalism Network websites."

So far, most climate coverage has focused on the problem itself, which makes sense; scientists call it an emergency for a reason. This reporting has helped audiences better understand that climate change is already happening; that it’s caused largely by burning oil, gas, and coal; and that the resulting heatwaves, droughts, and floods are hurting people, right now. That’s the bad news, but it’s only part of the story. The good news is that climate change is solvable. And newsrooms are starting to broaden their reporting to make solutions a bigger part of the coverage." Includes many examples of solutions stories.
