Questions for Andrew Schneider

1. Do you think that there are enough people looking over large companies, such as W.R. Grace Co. and their exploitation of small communities both in and out of our country? Does it scare you that there are less journalists, will corporations be held less accountable?

2. When you were covering the asbestos tragedy in Libby, Montana were the families willing to talk to you? Did they feel that you gave them a voice?

3. When you are creating a series such as Presumed Guilty or Uncivil Action do you write one article and then decide if there is more to be reported on or do you go into it with the intention of writing a series?

4. What do you think the impact has been of your coverage of the tragedy of Libby, Montana and other environmental catastrophes? How has it impacted the way the people think about public health and air quality/environmental standards and regulations?

5. Do you feel a commitment to social justice and a commitment to representing those who have been wronged by powerful corporations/government?

6. What do you think are the most pressing environmental issues at this time?
