11/01/22 • 37 min

Luzerne County native and three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning LA Times reporter Paul Pringle talks about investigative journalism and his new book, Bad City: Peril and Power in the City of Angels.
The true-crime events that lead to the investigation into USC School of Medicine Dean Dr. Carmen Puliafito are a shocking tale of drugs, sex, corruption, and several failed systems.
Paul discusses the reporting process, the behind-the-scenes story of why his editors would not publish his story about crime and corruption at the University of Southern California, the future of journalism, and a potential Hollywood deal for 'Bad City.'
