Identifying Investigative Pieces: A Multi-Step Method for Spotting a Blurred Journalistic Genre
This article aims to contribute to a better understanding of investigative journalism by proposing a multi-step method for identifying investigative pieces, despite the genre’s blurred definition.

Based on a literature review, an exploratory analysis and practical testing, we claim that examining art…
How Do Investigative Journalists Initiate Their Stories? Exploring the Investigative Ecosystem of Switzerland
This paper analyses investigative journalism as an ecosystem. It aims to reconstruct the "food chains" of investigative journalism by identifying the origin of investigative stories.

This article examines how investigative journalists, especially those working in newsroom contexts, deal with discrepancies between ideals and practice by actively negotiating their roles.

The study provides a …

Based on 23 in-depth interviews with Swiss journalists, our research sheds new light on professionals’ normative assumptions, and provides insights on how to think about investigative journalism more generally. Implicit and explicit professional definitions reveal a shared conception of journali…

Based on extensive qualitative research carried out at three different Swiss media organizations, it suggests that policies meant to foster investigative journalism may actually have counterproductive effects and increase competition in the workplace, both over material resources, such as time, and sym…
