Can you recommend primers, explainers, autobiographies, collection of war stories? Something accessible to laypersons like me?

After my own unsuccessful efforts, I started collecting books and articles about lawmaking (legislation). It'd be really great to have similar resources for investigative journalism.

Hmmm.

I guess what I'm hoping to find is a playbook for how to get stories published. Proven effective methods.

I accept everything I've read from Chomsky and others. But I am still no smarter on what to do about it.

For an analogy, Camp Wellstone teaches how to strategize policy work using tools like Power Maps.
