]]> Comment on Big companies in the firing line as newspapers rediscover their investigative zeal by Kate http://www.mediatrainingassociates.co.uk/2011/12/big-companies-in-the-firing-line-as-newspapers-rediscover-their-investigative-zeal-2/#comment-13 Kate Fri, 09 Dec 2011 15:27:57 +0000 http://mediatips.wordpress.com/?p=386#comment-13 Thanks for the link to this post Tom. I think you're right in saying the Indy and FT et al are trying to prove a point this week, it certainly seems to me that the flurry of stories are not coincidental to Leveson. The Indy certainly needs to claw back readers according to today's ABCs. I wonder if The Investigative Bureau of Journalism chose the Indy to splash the Bell Pott story because Simon Kelner now has a big link with City University and TIBJ through his new Journalism Foundation. I do think newspapers need to invest more in finding these stories for themselves though, and not just pally up with private bureaus to do their jobs for them. Do you think it's viable for papers to spend money on investigative work at the moment though? Your point about the implications for executives is spot on. I spoke with a board member of a popular charity only yesterday about how they do not have a limit on their expenses and regularly order gourmet food at the charity's expense. I wondered if she was hibernating during the expenses scandal. You'd think company chiefs would be wising up. Thanks for the link to this post Tom.
