Some of the most notable stories in German-language journalism this year revealed that many good guys in public life were, as it turned out, not so good. The following stories examine public figures from sports, the media, and far-right networks, and also show how big players — such as sportswear behemoth Nike, the fintech company Wirecard, or multinational energy giant RWE — behave when they think nobody’s watching.
2022 yılı araştırmacı gazetecilik hakkında yolsuzluğu araştırmak için gizli göreve gitmekten küresel göç krizinin gizli yüzünü araştırmaya ve tehlikeli COVID sözleşmelerine ve Nobel Barış Ödülü sahibi Maria Ressa’nın bir kitabına kadar bir dizi dikkate değer kitap çıktı.
How do you tackle a fraudulent blue-chip corporation that has the means to deploy teams of lawyers, private investigators, hackers, and even foreign spies to stop your investigation? Dan McCrum, an investigative reporter at the Financial Times, told GIJN how he took down a fraudulent $30 billion company, and offered tips on how reporters can tackle bad actors with almost unlimited resources.
In this GIJN Masterclass, Dan McCrum is in conversation with American journalist Katharine Eban a week after the release of his book, “Money Men,” to explain how he uncovered Wirecard’s shady practices and faced up to the firm’s tactics to scare the Financial Times off the story. He will share his tips and tools for investigating corporations.
