For the past 28 years, Bill Moushey has authored award-winning investigative reports for television and print publications, documenting a wide range of abuses in the criminal justice system.

Moushey formed the Innocence Institute in 2001 to investigate cases of wrongful conviction in Western Pennsylvania and neighboring regions. He has helmed five investigations for the organization, which have helped result in each of the cases being reopened.

He has been an investigative reporter for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette since 1985. In 1997, Moushey was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and won the coveted National Press Club’s Freedom of Information Award for his ground-breaking expose of an out-of-control witness protection program. In 1998, Moushey’s "Win at all Costs" series about prosecutorial misconduct won local, national and regional awards. He has also uncovered corruption on the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, and revealed dreadful health care conditions in the state prison system.

He spent five years as an investigative reporter at WPXI-TV in Pittsburgh, an NBC affiliate, before coming to the Post-Gazette.

Moushey is an associate professor of journalism at Point Park University, teaching classes in investigative reporting, media law and other subjects. A native of Canton, Ohio, he earned his Bachelor of Arts in Journalism from Kent State University. In 2004, he earned his Master of Science in Criminal Justice Administration from Point Park.
