As investigative reporters we focus on exposing individuals and organizations who break society’s ethical compacts. Yet essential practices such as undercover reporting, soliciting leaks and whistleblowers, and protecting sources - and investigative zeal in general - all require careful calibration of a journalist’s own ethical compass. This provocative panel will consider how investigative journalists around the world navigate ethical dilemmas, shaped by the particular pressures and conditions of their regions.
