Investigative Journalism & Water Integrity (Stockholm World Water Week 2015)
Channel: WaterIntegrity
Date: 01/10/2015

Globally information on water resource management and integrity issues in the water sector is scarce. Leakages, scandals, unfair procurement processes and public resources siphoned-off for private gain, are sometimes reported only in local newspapers and forgotten, exposing independent reporters to high risks and threats. In other cases, the quality and purpose of scandal-focused reporting is sometimes put into question. 
At this session at the World Water Week 2015, journalists and civil society actors came together to discuss their challenges in bringing attention to issues in the water sector fairly and clearly, and discussed how to collaborate more effectively.

From the session “Unfolding the Contribution of Investigative Journalism to Water Integrity,” convened by the Water Integrity Network, HELVETAS Swiss Intercooperation, and Thomson Reuters Foundation for Stockholm World Water Week 2015.

Date: 24 August 2015.
