Investigative Journalism Workshop

To provide theoretical and, above all, practical tools, essential for drafting an inquiry to students wishing to pursue this professional career in journalism, and to offer analytical insights useful for developing their own interpretive key to the current social complexity.
Having an investigative journalist currently at Rai1, previously a correspondent for 7 years for Mediaset's "Le Iene", a collaborator of various investigative journalism publications, and a former director of the investigative video journalism course at the Giornale.it "The Newsroom Academy", makes the course particularly practical and linked to the current journalistic reality with daily field experience in Italy and abroad on topics ranging from international drug trafficking to cold cases.

Specific Objectives:
- To provide students with an understanding of the techniques and methodologies used in investigative journalism.
- To develop research, analysis, and writing skills necessary to produce quality investigative reports.
- To promote ethical and legal awareness in investigative journalism.
- To prepare students to face the challenges and opportunities of investigative journalism in a digital context.

- Acquisition of advanced skills in investigative journalism
- Ability to conduct in-depth research and analyze collected information
- Skill in interviewing sources and gathering testimonies
- Ability to write high-quality investigative reports
- Ethical and legal awareness in investigative journalism

By attending 75% of the lessons and submitting two projects, students must demonstrate their ability to: grasp and narrate a news story, master the specific language, move enterprisingly in sourcing, and have learned all the basic notions of the work of an investigative journalist.
