About This Course
You don’t know journalism if you think it's just about reading the news.
No one in power will ever tell you the real story…. you have to search for it.
It is easy to get information, but verifying it is what really matters.
Join me while I explain how my team and I have worked on cases that have brought the powerful to account.
I’m Phil Rees, I run Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit - and this is a practical guide to Investigative Journalism on the Al Jazeera E-learning platform.
