Investigative journalism is exposing matters that are concealed, either deliberately or because they’re hidden behind a lot of confusing details. Chrissie Giles at #ECSJ2026

What is investigative journalism?
Investigative journalism involves exposing to the public matters that are concealed either
1. deliberately, by someone in a position of power or
1. accidentally, behind a chaotic mass of facts and circumstances that obscure understanding.
