One investigative journalist, the Guardian's Nick Davies, digging
away over two years, has almost brought the Murdoch empire crashing
to its knees. His reports of phone hacking at the News of the World
unveiled some very unethical practices. The Guardian was also
responsible for many of the biggest scoops of recent years: for
instance, investigating the killing of mews vendor Ian Tomlinson at
the G20 demonstration in London in April 2009 and collaborating
with WikiLeaks in 2010. Andrew Jennings, again working almost alone
with the BBC's Panorama over several years, brought down FIFA
vice-president Jack Warner and brought that organisation into
disrepute. Maybe reports of the death of investigative journalism
are premature. This text brings together the writings of top
international journalists and academics. They include: Bob
(Watergate) Woodward, Donal (Undercover) MacIntyre, Mark (Secret
Policeman) Daly, Paul Kenyon and John Ware of the BBC's Panorama,
Pulitzer Prize-Winner David Cay Johnston, Paul Bradshaw, Philip
Knightley, Adrian Quinn, Kevin Marsh, Eamonn O'Neill and John
Tulloch. Sher Baz Khan looks at the troubled state of investigative
journalism in Pakistan, Homson Shaw and Hugo de Burgh focus on
China, Daniel Ruiz on Guinea-Bissau while Neil Fowler examines the
local UK press. Students Sean Carson, Shane Croucher, Tom Farmery
and Sean McGrath add to the mix.
