Department of Investigative Journalism

Investigative journalism is a form of journalism in which journalists investigate deeply on one interesting subject: serious crimes, political corruption or corporate irregularities. Investigative journalism is concerned with uncovering matters that are either deliberately concealed by a person in a position of authority, or by mistake, behind a chaotic mass of facts and circumstances – and analysing and disclosing all relevant facts to the public . In this way, investigative journalism contributes decisively to freedom of expression and media development. If you have a passion to learn this type of journalism and learn about all its aspects, join us in this program to build and enhance your research and reporting skills to write powerful investigations capable of changing life and society.
