The makers

- The supreme discipline -

Investigative journalism (from the Latin investigare, “to track down”, “to investigate carefully”) requires lengthy, precise and comprehensive research before publication. The main topics are processes from politics or business that are viewed as scandalous by the public when authorities corrupt one another.

Investigative journalists often use so-called whistleblowers as sources. These are people who are employed in the institutions examined and who give protected or secret information to the press, often at risk of personal risk.

The subject of this elaborate and demanding form of reporting, which places high demands on ability and perseverance, are mostly scandalous incidents or misconduct of leading people from politics and business that endanger democracy.

Educational journalism takes courage. Impending criminal and civil law consequences can have a deterrent effect. Knowing about existing legal rights to information and knowing about the possibilities of accessing information to official documents facilitate investigative research. If the legal limits of suspicious activity reporting are adhered to, journalists can support the social culture change towards more transparency and uncover grievances. And more carefree than often assumed.

Digitization, downsizing in the editorial offices, declining research budgets and the increasing influence of lobbyists on journalists are promoting opinion journalism that is increasingly easy to sell.

The readers are demanding more transparency.

Knowledge of power and official secrecy can no longer be reconciled with a modern understanding of democracy.

Critical and investigative journalists are more important than ever nowadays.

Journalists need to know the legal rules in order to be able to use them as best as possible in their own interest.

Only then can journalism be as it should: free, transparent, critical and as independent as possible.

Austria:

Alfred Worm, who, among other things, uncovered the AKH scandal, a bribe affair in the General Hospital of the City of Vienna, at the end of the 1970s, should be mentioned from recent history. Kurt Kuch brought to light, among other things, details and background information on the Hypo Alpe Adria case, the Telekom affair, the BUWOG affair and the Eurofighter affair.

Germany:

In the Federal Republic of Germany, Hans Leyendecker, an employee of the news magazine Der Spiegel, and later the Süddeutsche Zeitung, uncovered the Flick affair and the CDU black money affair. Further examples are the Kießling affair, uncovered by Udo Röbel, and the Barschel affair, uncovered by Spiegel. Mathew D. Rose (Berlin, Capital of Felt and Corruption, 1997, and Eine honorable Society, 2003) dealt with the Berlin “felt”. The Frankfurt journalist and organized crime expert Jürgen Roth banned investigations in 2004! a report book about the limits of police investigative efforts. In 2006, his book Der Deutschland-Clan targeted the dependencies between high-ranking politicians, senior managers and judicial officers.
