Going deep: Investigative method and management

Mark L. Hunter will provide managers at the European Investigative Journalism Conference with an introduction into the training program he developed to give journalists cutting-edge tools and processes to create independent, exclusive content that builds value for readers, viewers ánd enterprises. His Friday afternoon session is part of the so called ‘managers track’, open to managers, editors-in-chief and senior editors (separate registration required).

Hunters process of story-based inquiry is the leading method to conceive, define, manage and promote depth reporting projects (including but not limited to investigations). His method is field-tested, and, as he will explain in this session, the benefits of his  method are multiple. “We help reporters to do their work more effectively and economically. We enable editors to better manage depth reporting projects and deliverables. And we enable executives to promote content more effectively and achieve greater viewer impact.”

All of this cannot be done in 75 minutes of course. This session may be viewed as an acquaintance with “the Hunter method”, a demonstration of its benefits and an inspiration for future reference. For VVOJ plans to bring him back to the Netherlands and Belgium in the spring of 2009, to teach a modular program catered towards the needs of media managers.

Dr. Mark Lee Hunter, Adjunct Professor and Senior Research Fellow at INSEAD, Paris, is one of the foremost investigative media trainers in the world, with well over a decade’s experience teaching at professional and executive levels. His repeat clients have ranged from Reuters and France 3 Télévision to the U.S. Dept. of State and the energy firms BP and Electricité de France.  Dr. Hunter is also an award-winning practitioner, with prizes from Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE), the world’s leading association in the field, as well as the Society of Professional Journalists, National Headliners, Clarion, and H.L. Mencken Free Press Awards. He is the author of a forthcoming (fall 2008) manual on investigative reporting, and originator of the “Business Models for Investigative Journalism Project” in the Global Investigative Journalism Network.

Claimen en framen, dat was het thema van de conferentie 2023. Wie claimt en framet stuurt de dialoog, zet thema’s op scherp en maakt andere geluiden vaak monddood. Hoe gaan we hier als onderzoeksjournalisten mee om? Hoe bewegen we ons in een wereld van wantrouwen? Daarover ging het onder meer tijdens twee succesvolle en verrijkende conferentiedagen op vrijdag 17 en zaterdag 18 november 2023 in Gent.

Eind 2013 ontvangt de gemeenteraad van Birmingham, Engeland – een merkwaardige anonieme brief waarin melding wordt gemaakt van een complot van Islamisten om openbare scholen in een achterstandswijk over te nemen. Het geheime plan had de codenaam Operation Trojan Horse. De brief wordt intern snel ontmaskerd als nep, maar veroorzaakt toch landelijke paniek als die in maart 2014 lekt naar de pers. Anekdotes over leerkrachten die Salafistische gedachten in de hoofden van hun leerlingen pompen en hun vrouwelijke collega’s discrimineren, buitelen over elkaar heen in de media.
