<br/><br/> "Investigative Journalism, Democracy and the Digital Age explores watchdog reporting in the digital age. Mapping new forms of global collaborative investigative journalism, the book debunks the myth that traditional newsrooms and investigative journalism are dying, and shows how journalists are adapting and experimenting. The book brings together expert analysis and lively examples of investigative journalism in developed economies, with a close focus on the United States, United Kingdom and Australia. Combining decades of investigative journalism analyses with expert interviews with watchdog reporters from across the globe, the author shows us how investigative journalism thrives despite significant challenges, and explores why investigative journalism is integral to democratic accountability and public trust in the news in a fake news era"-- Provided by publisher.
