The Washington Post's permanent investigative unit was set up in 1982 under Bob Woodward.
Inside an Investigation
The Post's investigation into farm subsidies, a series of stories that ran in 2006 and 2007, is the focus of a PBS documentary airing tonight. The program, "Expose: America's Investigative Reports," follows the Post's Sarah Cohen, Gilbert M. Gaul and Dan Morgan, who explain how they found more than $15 billion in wasteful, unncessary spending.
The program will air as part of Bill Moyers Journal and will look specifically at two elements of the Post's stories, the finding that $1.3 billion was paid in farm subsidies to land owners who had grown nothing and $635 million in drought payments to farmers who had experienced moderate or no drought.
The program can also be viewed on the website for "Expose: America's Investigative Reports."
