Ten Years of the Panama Papers: The Enduring Impact of Meticulous Investigative Journalism
Der Watergate-Skandal zeigte, wie zwei beharrliche Reporter durch das Verfolgen von Geldspuren Ungerechtigkeit aufdecken konnten.

Während sich die Werkzeuge und Methoden der investigativen Journalisten weiterentwickelt haben, um solch komplexe Fälle zu bewältigen, sind leider auch die Taktiken und technologischen Möglichkeiten ihrer Gegner nicht stehen geblieben.
