Investigative Reporting

Investigative reporting is a specialized form of journalism that involves in-depth, thorough research and analysis to uncover and report on issues of public interest, especially those involving misconduct, corruption, or wrongdoing. This type of reporting often requires significant time and effort, as journalists investigate complex stories, often using various sources, documents, interviews, and sometimes undercover methods. The goal of investigative reporting is to bring transparency to issues that may be hidden, hold powerful entities accountable, and inform the public, thereby playing a crucial role in a democratic society. It is characterized by its commitment to truth, accuracy, and the pursuit of accountability.
