LIVE: Investigating a multibillion-dollar empire with AP, AJC and FRONTLINE

A groundbreaking investigative collaboration by newsrooms including The Associated Press, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and FRONTLINE (PBS) revealed how the nation’s carpet manufacturing industry continued to use harmful chemicals for years, even as scientific evidence mounted that the consequences would be grave. Today, the chemicals are found in local water, soil, wildlife — and the blood of residents.

In this conversation, reporters and editors from the AP, the AJC and FRONTLINE will discuss the challenges of reporting this investigation, what it’s like to collaborate with journalists across multiple news outlets and the impacts public service journalism can have.
