Cheryl Carpenter

Carpenter has overseen many investigations, most recently McClatchy’s partnership with news organizations worldwide in examining the Panama Papers, documents that showed thousands of offshore investors were engaged in fraud, tax evasion and avoidance of international sanctions. She will teach a course on the ethical and practical issues reporters face, particularly when dealing with leaked documents. Carpenter holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a master’s degree in organizational development from Queens University in Charlotte. She also was a Nieman Fellow at Harvard University in 2005, studying ethics and leadership.
