Their newspaper was sold and twice changed editors during their investigation, said two Pulitzer winners in an open lecture at Hong Kong Baptist University.<\/p>\n

\"According

Kristen Graham, the winner of the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service, says that a large number of students are attacked schools in, many of which are Asian.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cWhen we were the middle of our series, the editor of the paper was removed. When we were the middle of writing the series, one of our editors left the paper to take another job. Even our headquarters was sold to generate revenue,\u201d said Susan Snyder, \u201cbut the Inquirer\u2019s commitment and our commitment to the project never moved.\u201d<\/p>\n

Snyder and Kristen Graham, both education reporters at the Philadelphia Inquirer, won a Pulitzer for series on school violence in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

Their investigation began in December 2009 when 13 Asian students were attacked and beaten by American and African students inside a Philadelphia high school.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe thing that really struck me is that the students knew terrible things happened, but they said it wasn\u2019t out of the ordinary,\u201d Graham said.<\/p>\n

Both reporters have a source list of around 100 victims, they said. They called every single person on the list.<\/p>\n

In order to be accurate and reliable, they spent hours fact checking, they said.<\/p>\n

\"Roselo,

Roselo, a student of Hong Kong Baptist University, asks Susan Snyder and Kristen Graham whether they will use Facebook Live when they are doing beat reports.<\/p><\/div>\n

Graham added that approaching people was also a challenge in working on the series, as people have different personalities and some of them fear being fired and being put in danger.<\/p>\n

“No matter how many things have changed, there will always be government officials, businesses and organizations that needed to be monitored by watch dogs,\u201d Snyder said.<\/p>\n
