How about long articles, like "The Best Investigative Reporter You've Never Heard Of," and some of the fantastic stuff he wrote?

Terry Pratchett's The Truth is a hilarious satire on investigative journalism; it's part of his Discworld series, but stands alone nicely (it was the first book in the series I read and got me totally hooked).

Tony Hillerman's The Fly on the Wall is pretty good.
