PBS Exposé

Exposé: America's Investigative Reports is an award-winning PBS documentary series that gives a primetime spotlight to some of the most important investigative journalism in America.

From late 2006 through early 2008, Tim photographed six episodes in this series, each covering a different topic in a different part of the country. Tim's second episode, Charity Begins At Home was nominated for a national Emmy Award in 2007.

Working with several very talented producers, Tim (and and occasionally a sound person) would shoot each 24-minute episode in about one week. In addition to many busy newspaper newsrooms, the series has put Tim on a tug boat on Puget Sound, in a float plane above Alaskan glaciers, in an abandoned housing project in New Orleans, and behind the closed doors of US Congressional offices in Washington DC.

The Death is Different episode was the only program in the series shot in HD. In the hot 2007 summer, producer Oriana Zill, Tim, and McClatchy reporter Steve Henderson retraced his steps from Baltimore, MD to Valdosta, GA to New Orleans, LA, uncovering the legal nuances of death penalty cases as handled by the Supreme Court System.
