Funded Activity Summary

Developing an Arab culture of investigative journalism. This project aims to critically evaluate the extent to which an Arab culture of investigative journalism could be established. Investigative journalism has critical importance to the enhancement of independent media systems, especially in restrictive media environments. Understanding that investigative journalism training and practice should lead to transparent and representative political systems, this project examines whether Western frameworks are suitable for conceptualising non-Western investigative journalism cultures. It will develop a theoretical model for investigative journalism specific to the Arab world.
