I chose to do an analysis on the recommended site. I chose an article about violations of the Clean-Air-Act in Indiana. The article references two other articles posted by the journalgazette.net.
The main points of the article were provided by the reporting done in the other two articles referenced.
I don't think this kind of reporting requires very advanced computer skills. Specific navigation of a basic search engine would bring you to publications that could supplement your article.
Probably the most important aspect of searching these articles is the ability to recognize legitimate sources from illegitimate sources. IRE would be a trusted source because it holds an esteemed reputation for quality investigative journalism.
