People all over the world need to know the truth of what is going on in society. There are a lot of evils happening in society and somehow concerned organizations are not ready to explicitly say the truth.
On the same note, governments have been proved to manipulate state organizations making it difficult for the truth of what exactly takes place to see the light of the day. Therefore, the general public needs a watchdog that will help to expose what governments as well as other corporations are doing.
In this regard, investigative reporting is very crucial in closing the gap of information that exists. It is important to note that developing countries are the most affected with the lack of truth in information. Consequently, Egypt as a country will receive very many advantages from investigative reporting.
Investigative journalism is a branch of journalism in which a reporter carries out in depth analysis of a topic of his or her interest. Usually, investigative reporting reports about topics that are of public interest for example, corruption, crime, corporate wrong doing and various government scandals.
Investigative reporting involves analysis of social and legal issues of the topic. Moreover, it entails investigation of important documents and scrutiny of government and business practices in order to understand their effects to society.
Egypt being a country that is struggling to embrace democracy, it needs investigative journalism to help in many aspects. To begin with, investigative reporting will help in shedding light on some societal issues like government practices which have for a long time been kept in the dark.
On the same note, investigative reporting will help to bring on board the feelings of people about the government. This will help the new government of Egypt to know which areas need immediate intervention.
Moreover, Egypt has been depicted as a government where leaders are out to enrich themselves at the expense of the public. Consequently, investigative reporting will help in exposing the wicked leaders who are milking public coffers.
In addition, there has been evidence that the political elite have enormous powers which make them able to manipulate not only government policies, but also various leaders. As a result, investigative reporting comes in handy to help in exposing these people.
Moreover, given the state of affairs in Egypt, it may be hard for the media to report the truth of what happens in the government and other corporations. However, since investigative reporting is based on solid evidence, it will enable the public to get a clear picture of what is really happening in various sectors of the Egyptian government.
Corruption, mismanagement of public resources and scandals are rampant in Egypt. Unfortunately, the investigative departments of the government cannot be trusted to do a good job in carrying out investigations. Consequently, investigative reporting is crucial in unraveling the depths of these scandals.
On the same note, the Egyptian government has been through tough times including the change of government which brought to the light the evil activities that had been going on in the various departments. As a result the public needs a trustworthy watchdog to put the current government to task. Investigative reporting offers this solution.
Human rights are violated every now and again in Egypt. The past government was able to symphony public money comfortably without the fear of being caught or reported. The government has also manipulated all investigative and reporting agencies.
On the other hand, investigative reporting is open and transparent. Moreover, it is easier for investigative reporters to get information compared to other agencies. Therefore, Egypt needs investigative reporting to bring on board the social evils being perpetrated.
