Is investigative journalism emerging as a new global power?
In short: Professor Hugo de Burgh examines how digital tools and global connectivity are transforming the way journalists expose corruption and hold powerful institutions to account.
The lecture explores how the internet and advanced digital communication have provided unprecedented opportunities for journalists and whistleblowers. This technological shift, paired with globalisation, has enabled reporters to collaborate across continents, linking investigators from regions including Latin America, Nigeria, India, and Poland.
As these networks grow, they increasingly challenge the influence of governments, corporations, and defence establishments, raising the question of whether investigative journalism should be recognised as a new form of global power.
