Wednesday class

What makes something a piece of advanced reporting? Is it the number of people a reporter talks to? Is it the amount of time it takes to report and write it?

The following four stories show there are a myriad of types of advanced reporting. (I apologize for using all Columbus Dispatch stuff, and three of my own stories at that. I do so because I know what went in to creating all of these pieces.)

Complex investigation: Test of Convictions: A Dispatch Investigation
In-depth profile: Perfect Pitch
Done in a week: Loyal friend looked out for others
Done in an hour: Hula-hooper sets mind on record
