Abstract: Not only is investigative journalism at the core of what is meant by the term, ‘watchdog journalism’, it has a definite moral purpose. It has a lot to do with the concepts of ‘right’ and ‘wrong’.Investigative journalism produces stories that deliver impact as it unveils what is often, the untold truth. Investigative Journalism: A Handbook for Asia-Pacific Broadcasters offers a methodical approach from finding the story to managing the investigation and scripting the story for broadcast. The author also lists ethical considerations, challenges and pitfalls of investigative journalism which would help to keep journalists themselves accountable as they craft their reports.
