Graeme Joffe, an independent reporter and sports journalist born in South Africa, visited Ithaca College on Tuesday, March 26 to discuss his experience in investigative reporting.
From 1992 to 1999, he was an international sports anchor for CNN in Atlanta. After that, he moved to South Africa, where he began a long career of uncovering corruption in the nation’s official sports associations through his independent blog. He was eventually forced to move back to America due to death threats.
