First specialist journalism lecture: Richard Adamson on Investigative Journalism

I've just come from a talk by Richard Adamson on Investigative Journalism, which has re-iterated my conviction that I should be doing this module.

Hopefully, I will also be doing finance modules with Andrew Grant-Adamson after the break.

I have a strong interest in learning about finance and have been reading up on basic economics. Finance, government and society are closely linked.

Richard Adamson gave examples of Nick Davies,Andrew Jennings and John Sweeney as people who were excellent investigative reports and who had made a difference.

It is important to cultivate contacts and follow the "Money Trail".

As Richard Adamson says, those who don't think that investigative journalism can make a difference are like those living in the matrix.
