Although I hope that this book will have wide appeal, at present, this is written with Journalism students in mind. The aim of the book is to provide introduction of Investigative and Crime Journalism.
This book will also help the students of other disciplines other than media studies for whom some background knowledge of investigative journalism is needed.
The book will provide answers to the questions:
– What do you think is the difference between investigative journalism and other types of journalism?
– How data journalism plays a vital role in enabling reporters to interrogate information and find patterns in the data indicating systemic wrongdoing?
A handbook for students, journalist, academician, civic right activist, citizen journalist and lawyers.
