From The New York Times’s wildly successful multimedia interactive “Snow Fall,” to This American Life’s classic spoken storytelling model, media are on a constant search to find the platform that will disseminate a story most effectively, most powerfully, and, of course, most widely.
Enter the California-based Center for Investigative Reporting, which has a new project that molds long-form reporting into a creative performance usually confined to the stage: slam poetry.
In June 2012 CIR dove into a topic that had been bouncing around the Berkeley investigative-journalism graduate program for a while. It was a daunting task in a realm where little data existed and few were willing or able to tell their stories: the sexual assault and rape of migrant workers in America’s agriculture industry.
A team of a half-dozen reporters, along with multimedia producers and multiple editors, spent the year investigating this little-discussed epidemic. At the end of June Rape in the Fields emerged in multiple parts: an in-depth article, both in English and Spanish; a four-piece radio program on KQED in California; a Frontline and Univision documentary film; an animated short video; and now a spoken-word poem.
