Many investigators are searching for new ways to reach a wider public and create impact, as the consumers of long-form or investigative reporting are harder to find. Different ways – some crazy, some brilliant, some both brilliant and crazy – have already been tried, with varying results. This article dives into some “traditional” as well as some unexpected ways of displaying investigations to the public, like opera, slam poetry, puppet theatre, comics and even circus. What does it take for the tireless investigators and their work to reach more audiences? Let’s discover new approaches to tell an investigative story or showcase data and findings.
This kit is designed to be a guide to investigation, offering techniques and tools used by experienced investigators to collect and verify information, build evidence, and create a better understanding of issues without losing sight of ethical or safety considerations. It was developed by Exposing the Invisible, an initiative of Tactical Tech that seeks to inspire a new generation of people committed to transparency and accountability. The kit covers a variety of investigative techniques including, for example, tools to access websites that have been removed from the internet, tools to discover content that does not appear in search engines, or data from videos and images that would otherwise remain invisible. It offers ideas on how to approach investigations into companies, how to use maps to investigate places and events, and how to prepare for field research. It also offers tips on talking to people and observing places, assessing risks, collecting and using information safely and ethically, and making sure that those doing the investigating and others involved can stay safe.
We are looking to partner with organisations who want to work with communities in low and middle income countries and would like to adapt, translate, promote or disseminate Exposing the Invisible’s extensive resources for emerging and experienced journalists and investigators .
