In Asheville, a band of retired journalists does investigative reporting for free – Columbia Journalism Review

THE INVESTIGATIVE OUTLET THE ASHEVILLE WATCHDOG launched in North Carolina in early 2020 with a highly experienced staff of retired reporters. Bob Gremillion, the Watchdog’s publisher, is a former Tribune executive. Reporter and editor Peter Lewis was once a senior writer, editor, and columnist at the New York Times. Sally Kestin, an investigative reporter, won the 2013 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service at the South Florida Sun Sentinel. They’re surrounded by a team of similarly illustrious colleagues. And they’re all working for free.
