Juliet Gilbert learned early the power of journalism. She is a successful attorney, mother and volunteer in Metro Denver today, but she grew up in Chicago’s fabled Cabrini-Green housing project.
“I was able to attend a middle class high school in northwest Chicago, a neighborhood in stark contrast to where I lived,” Juliet says. “When I wrote an article about living in Cabrini-Green in the school newspaper, some of my fellow students began to understand the difficulties in growing up in public housing.”
As a source in the I-News Public Insight Network, Juliet’s life experiences continue to inform journalism that is making a difference. Join today and make a difference, too. I-News would like your help when we report on topics you know well.

Think, question and dig for truths
The I-News Investigative Journalism Institute gives high school students an opportunity to spend the week learning how to think, question, and dig for the truth like an investigative reporter. Take your research, reporting and storytelling to a new level with instruction and guidance from the award-winning journalists of I-News: The Rocky Mountain Investigative News Network.
Selected applicants will get the chance to be an investigative journalist for a week. Each will experience how to investigate and produce multimedia reports with guidance from some of the best in the business.
The skills that top investigative reporters use to spot wrongdoing and uncover hidden information are valuable in any profession. And for students, they’re valuable immediately – not only for better student journalism, but for better term papers, reports and college applications, too.
Selected students will learn how to find hidden information, use critical thinking to spot holes in stories, work as a team, analyze data, document facts, and produce a compelling multimedia report.
