After a sexual assault case in the District of Columbia, one woman’s public warning ricochets all the way to Birmingham, Ala., where another woman gives voice to a devastating allegation.
This seven-part investigative series from The Washington Post follows the Alabama woman’s decision to come forward with a claim of sexual assault against a high-ranking figure in the D.C. criminal justice system, and the spiraling effects of that choice.
“Canary: The Washington Post Investigates” is about the intertwining stories of these two women, separated by decades and united by a shared refusal to stay silent. It’s a podcast about what it takes to report this story — and why it matters. Hosted by investigative reporter Amy Brittain.

Kundenrezensionen
Ein Lehrstück für investigativen Journalismus
Atemberaubend gut gemacht. Wir werden von dieser einfühlsamen Journalistin auf eine Recherchereise mitgenommen, die alle Sichtweisen einbezieht.
Solid journalism meets unbearable voice
Solid but not exciting journalism (3 ⭐️) meets the unbearable voice of Amy Brittain (1⭐️). The story is neatly researched and properly edited, but in the end unnecessarily lengthened. A far cry from “Your Own Backyard” or “Over My Dead Body : Season 1”.
