The Tampa Bay Times Investigative Reporting

Why: Unlike their editorials (see Ratings: The Silly), the Times‘ investigative reporting exemplifies stellar journalism, with deeply researched and fact-based exposés. Examples include their success at penetrating the unflattering and previously secret inner machinations of Scientology, and their exposure of the United States Navy Veterans Association, a fraudulent charity whose mysterious leader known as “Bobby Thompson” (a stolen identity) was recently captured.
