From firings and resignations to changes in budgets and laws, the impact of this reporting can be significant-but so too are the costs. As newspapers confront shrinking subscriptions and advertising revenue, who is footing the bill for journalists to carry out their essential work? Democracys Detectives puts investigative journalism under a magnifying glass to clarify the challenges and opportunities facing news organizations today.Hamiltons book presents a thoughtful and detailed case for the indispensability of investigative journalism-and just at the time when we needed it. Now more than ever, reporters can play an essential role as societys watchdogs, working to expose corruption, greed, and injustice of the years to come.
