Anyone seen the movie “Spotlight”? About the Boston Globe’s uncovering scandal
in the Catholic Church? Guess what?
Quotes from Trey's story:
“Blye Faust, one of the film’s producers,
recently joined the board of The Center for Investigative Reporting, where I am executive board
chairman. We’re thrilled to have someone with us who worked for seven years
to bring
the “Spotlight” story to the screen and so deeply gets the value of the
journalism involved.”
“And on Feb. 20, CIR will release a new episode
of “Reveal,” our
national, weekly investigative public radio show and podcast, that picks up the
Catholic Church abuse scandal where the “Spotlight” film ends. “
…. “ for the past year, CIR has been
investigating sexual abuse of children in another closed society, the Jehovah’s
Witnesses community, and that group’s attempts to silence the story.”
“This splash of
sunlight already is helping people who are looking
to change dark and corrosive practices. It’s one of many public service
and social justice issues we pursue at any given time.”
