Add to basketPaperback. The book has been divided into ten useful chapters. The first chapter deals with a general introduction to fundamentals of investigative journalism where efforts have been made to help people understand the significance of investigative journalism in society and distinguish between the routine and investigative journalism. The second chapter titled with Investigative Reporting in Indian Context provides a detail account of investigative reports in pre and post independence along with a checklist for investigation in financial matters of national importance. The third section is devoted to various stages of investigative reporting. The fourth section deals with the strategies for overcoming problems in developing story idea and the usefulness of hypothesis. Planning is an important stage of investigative reporting for which efforts have been made in the fifth chapter of this book to explain how to make strategies for time, budget, and methodology planning. The sixth chapter of this textbook is on data security that speaks a volume about how journalists will protect their data from unauthorized access, theft, modification and mis-utilization by making it hard, lengthy and expensive. The contents of chapter seven is on the protection of human sources. The chapter eight explains the techniques of interviews which are of practical utility for every type of reporting. The target audience of this textbook after going through the contents presented in the chapter nine that is on story writing for print and broadcast media will develop confidence and learn techniques to write the story. The ethics of investigative journalism happens to be the last chapter which is not only important for investigative reporting but also for all types of reporting.Efforts have been made to match the volume of readership with the quality of exposition embodied in this book. It was the feedback from students who narrated the difficulties they face in studying the investigative journalism in the absence of adequate written accounts. When writing this book, I have tried to use all the good knowledge on the subject I could find. My debt of gratitude is therefore so large that it is impossible to acknowledge all cases of direct and indirect influence. The ideas of leading scholars and researchers who have been active in a number of academic fields have been incorporated so as to enrich the contents of the book. Though information culled from various sources has been checked and re-checked blemishes cannot be ruled out altogether. Suggestions from discerning readers will be most welcome. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
