Investigative Journalism and Its Purposes: P.Sai Pranay IDNO - 2019049059

The document discusses investigative journalism and its purposes. Investigative journalism involves detailed study of political, economic, business, and other issues through collecting accurate and exclusive information from various sources. Journalists conduct research by interpreting other reports, interviews, following leads, and reviewing public records. The collection of solid proof is risky but important to verify information quality, which can powerfully impact people and prompt authorities to act. While investigative journalism can expose corruption and injustice, it also potentially affects government power and causes conflicts between institutions. Its main purposes are to hold those in power accountable, contribute to democratic governance, and reveal wrongdoing by publishing such information.
