ABSTRACT
The challenges presented by digital disruption of previous analogue business models are far-reaching. The term global investigative journalism, introduced in this book, is the action of a journalist or journalists to investigate and report on issues that call powerful individuals, corporations or governments to account in their home country, or in a foreign country or countries. While reporting on the flood and its aftermath for a year, the author upgraded his old analogue audio skills to digital and made a radio documentary. What was striking about the flood was that not only were media outlets hobbled by the loss of analogue communications, emergency services were too. This book gives readers a behind-the-scenes look at how investigative journalism was suddenly changed and empowered by the digital disruption that threatened to destroy it. A well-informed and engaged citizenry is vital to the proper functioning of democratic governments.
