Digital investigative journalism : data, visual analytics and innovative methodologies in international reporting
In the post-digital era, investigative journalism around the world faces a revolutionary shift in the way information is gathered and interpreted. Investigative journalists are working with programmers, designers and scientists to develop innovative tools and hands-on approaches that assist them in disclosing the misuse of power and uncovering injustice. This volume provides an overview of the most sophisticated techniques of digital investigative journalism: data and computational journalism, which investigates stories hidden in numbers; drone journalism, which conquers hitherto inaccessible territories; visual and interactive journalism, which reforms storytelling with images and audience perspectives; and digital forensics and visual analytics, which help to authenticate digital content and identify sources in order to detect manipulation.

The Watchdog Still Barks
Upends the traditional media narrative that watchdog (accountability) journalism is in a long, dismaying declineWatchdog reporting has played a critical role in the events of the moment, from the 2016 election to the developing political situation
Perhaps no other function of a free press is as important as the watchdog role-its ability to monitor the work of the government. It is easier for politicians to get away with abusing power, wasting public funds, and making poor decisions if the press is not shining its light with what is termed \"accountability reporting.\" This need has become especially clear in recent months, as the American press has come under virulent direct attack for carrying out its watchdog duties.
This book presents a study of how this most important form of journalism, watchdog reporting, came of age in the digital era at American newspapers. Based on the first content analysis to focus specifically on accountability journalism nationally,The Watchdog Still Barksexamines the front pages of nine newspapers, located across the United States, for clues on how papers addressed the watchdog role as the advent of the Internet transformed journalism. This portrait of the modern newspaper industry shows how papers of varying sizes and ownership structures around the country marshaled resources for accountability reporting despite significant financial and technological challenges.
Although the American newspaper industry contracted significantly during the 1990s and 2000s, as the digital transformation drove down circulation and print ad revenues, the data collected here shows that papers studied actually held fast to the watchdog role. Although the newspapers studied all endured large budget and staff cuts during the 20 years studied as paid circulation and advertising dropped, the amount of deep watchdog reporting on their front pages generally increased over time.The Watchdog Still Barkscontains original interviews with editors of the newspapers studied, who explain why they are staking their papers' futures on the one thing that American newspapers still do better than any other segment of the media-watchdog and investigative reporting.
Uses empirical methods (content analysis and interviews), where previous studies have generalized from anecdotes (and arrived at the wrong conclusion)

Le indagini atipiche
Spinto dall'inarrestabile sviluppo tecnologico, si amplia progressivamente il catalogo di strumenti investigativi non disciplinati dalla legge o riconducibili a previsioni carenti di determinatezza, soprattutto sul come operare. I mezzi di ricerca della prova non sono necessariamente consentiti se manca un divieto normativo esplicito: può darsi che preclusioni o limiti all'uso si desumano dai diritti inviolabili della persona; ma anche quando essi sono in linea di fondo ammissibili, occorre chiedersi se le procedure d'impiego pregiudicano il diritto di difesa e/o generano risultati attendibili. La seconda Edizione nasce dall'esigenza di analizzare la più recente giurisprudenza in materia, di affrontare le nuove forme di investigazione e di confrontarsi con il Codice della privacy. L'Opera, rinnovata ed ampliata rispetto alla precedente, nel complesso, si mostra come un utile apparato per valutare fin dove le \"indagini atipiche\" siano legittime e quanto si rivelino affidabili.

Chinese investigative journalists' dreams
This edited volume brings together scholars positioned in and outside of China, including former Chinese journalists, in a comprehensive and in-depth study of Chinese investigative journalists’ dreams, work practices, and strategies. It is the first book that systematically addresses the roles and values of Chinese investigative journalists in different types of media, in the process addressing topics such as journalism education, different generations and sub-groups among investigative journalists, and gendered roles within investigative journalism. The book discusses journalists’ relations with the state and issues of political control and censorship but seeks to unpack the state by looking at different administrative levels, institutions and geographical locations. Furthermore, the authors acknowledge and analyze how investigative journalism today is shaped, constrained and negotiated through contacts with other actors than the state, including companies, civil society, and the audience. The book sheds light on the possibilities and restrictions for more critical journalism in an authoritarian regime.

BOOK
Class Unknown
Since the Gilded Age, social scientists, middle-class reformers, and writers have left the comforts of their offices to \"pass\" as steel workers, coal miners, assembly-line laborers, waitresses, hoboes, and other working and poor people in an attempt to gain a fuller and more authentic understanding of the lives of the working class and the poor. In this first, sweeping study of undercover investigations of work and poverty in America, award-winning historian Mark Pittenger examines how intellectuals were shaped by their experiences with the poor, and how despite their sympathy toward working-class people, they unintentionally helped to develop the contemporary concept of a degraded and \"other\" American underclass. While contributing to our understanding of the history of American social thought,Class Unknownoffers a new perspective on contemporary debates over how we understand and represent our own society and its class divisions.
