The Dick Goldensohn Fund was established in 1986 by friends and family shortly after Dick died of a heart attack at age 39. Since he had been a fearless investigative reporter, the Fund makes small grants covering research, reporting and travel costs to freelance journalists working on international stories.
 |  War correspondent Anna Badkhen recently returned to Iraq—her 10th trip since 2003—and wrote a series of journals for The Muckraker. During her month there, Badkhen met the wives of detained Iraqis, followed soldiers out on home searches, and witnessed the challenges American troops face maintaining order in a society that still condones "tribal justice"—vengeance killing.  |
 |  The U.S. protects American factory workers from occupational illness and injury, but such protections seldom extend to Chinese workers who now make most U.S. goods. In a four part series, reporter Loretta Tofani reveals how Chinese workers are dying slow, difficult deaths, caused by the toxic chemicals they use in manufacturing. This series was partially funded by CIR's Dick Goldensohn Fund.  |

Lygia Navarro reports for Marketplace on what they're doing now. This project was partially funded by CIR's Dick Goldensohn Fund.  |
