Also known as investigative reporting, fact-finding journalism
form of journalism in which reporters deeply investigate a single topic
Investigative journalism is a genre of journalism in which reporters deeply investigate a single or few topics of interest, such as hidden problems and truths, serious crimes, education, racial injustice, corruption and abuse of power, social welfare, and corporate wrongdoing. An investigative journalist may spend months or years researching and preparing a report. Practitioners sometimes use the terms "watchdog reporting" or "accountability reporting".
Most investigative journalism has traditionally been conducted by newspapers, wire services, and freelance journalists. With the decline in income through advertising, many traditional news services have struggled to fund investigative journalism, due to it being very time-consuming and expensive. Journalistic investigations are increasingly carried out by news organizations working together, even internationally (as in the case of the Panama Papers, Paradise Papers and Pandora Papers), or by nonprofit outlets such as ProPublica, which rely on the support of the public and benefactors to fund their work.
