What Makes Investigative Journalism Work

The organisational and editorial conditions that enable successful investigative journalism

The Conditions

The organisational and editorial conditions that enable successful investigative journalism -- the specific combination of editorial independence, legal support, financial stability, and the specific institutional commitment to publishing the results regardless of the powerful interests the journalism challenges -- are the conditions that the accountability journalism of the journalism profession requires examining as well as the journalism that those conditions produce.

The Research

The research on what produces successful investigative journalism: the ICFJ and the investigative journalism studies that have examined the newsroom conditions that correlate with investigative journalism output consistently identify the specific conditions: a dedicated investigative team rather than investigators assigned on top of a regular reporting load; the legal support budget that covers the specific costs that investigative journalism produces; and the editorial commitment at the most senior level that protects the specific editorial decisions that powerful subjects will challenge.
