Connections: The Reporter Who Broke The Flint Water Crisis Story

The man who broke the story of the Flint water crisis joins us in studio. CurtGuyette's reporting was pivotal in forcing elected leaders to admit there was a serious problem, and that children were being poisoned. Guyette is visiting Rochester to speak to local students, but first, he joins us to talk about Flint, his work on this story, and the state of investigative journalism today. 

Our guests:

  • Curt Guyette, investigative reporter for the ACLU of Michigan
  • Andrea Hickerson, RIT journalism professor
