In this session you will be given an overview of the most widely-used investigative journalism method in the world – the only method, to date, that combines conception, research, organisation and composition into a single integrated process.
Story-based inquiry was developed within the GIJN, and designed to give teachers, reporters and editors a common language to describe and manage different aspects of the work. It began from the observation that while nearly any reporter can find information, many cannot turn it into a story. By placing the story at the start of the process, we guide our research and reduce errors and waste. UNESCO, publisher of
Story-Based Inquiry: A Manual for Investigative Journalists and
The Global Investigative Journalism Casebook, will introduce these works at the session.
