Offering a critical overview of the state of contemporary investigative journalism, this book considers ways in which investigative journalism can bring about meaningful change and what conditions need to be in place for it to do so.

Combining theory and practice, each chapter introduces current issues and trends, including the impacts of Artificial Intelligence, evolving funding models, Freedom of Information, and SLAPPs. Applying these issues to some of the most pressing concerns of our time – misinformation, the climate crisis, inequality – this book demonstrates how journalists can draw on investigative skills to enact positive real-world change. Relevant chapters feature a practical guide to using the technique discussed and each is followed by a critical analysis of skills in practice, with case studies from around the world. All end with an exercise or discussion topic to help students make sense of what they’ve learned.

Shining new light on disruptions facing the industry, this book is recommended reading for anyone studying investigative journalism at an advanced level.
