Gareth Jones's accounts of what was happening in Soviet Ukraine in 1932-33 were different from other western accounts. Not only did he reveal the true extent of starvation, he reported on the Stalin regime's failure to deliver aid while exporting grain to the west. The tragedy is now known as the Holodomar and regarded by Ukrainians as genocide.

This nonprofit Fund will produce a wide-range of investigative journalism created by both staff reporters and freelance writers.adding that
all who recognize the indispensable role good journalism plays in our democracy are looking for ways to preserve it during this transitional period for the media.
Newspapers never spent that much on investigative reporting, and they rarely did a particularly good job of it, other than an occasional big story in an attempt to win a Pulitzer.
When Chauncey Bailey, the editor of The Oakland Post, in California, was gunned down in broad daylight on a city street 18 months ago, it was not the end of his journalism. In some ways, it was a new beginning.
After his death, a group of reporters — some retired, some out of work — with support from foundations and the University of California, Berkeley, banded together to continue his investigation
secretly recorded by the police, showed Yusuf Bey IV sitting with associates in a jailhouse room, bragging about being a part of Mr. Bailey’s murder. It raised critical questions — still unanswered — about why the police had not charged Mr. Bey in the murder.
I want to see a lot more media, but not talkers and pundits. We have plenty of them. We need more investigative reporters and journalists, thousands, maybe tens of thousands more.
America could use an extra ten or twenty thousand investigative reporters to keep the government, legislators and corporations honest
According to a poll of more than 1,000 consumers carried out by ICM Research for Drapers magazine, 42pc of people who shop at Primark are now either less likely or a lot less likely to shop at the chain because of the allegations highlighted in Panorama.
Prior to the programme's airing, Primark, owned by Associated British Foods, ditched the south Indian suppliers in question and launched a raft of initiatives to improve auditing and standards in its supply chain.
Presenter and former fashion model Alexa Chung who sets out to uncover what conditions are really like in some of the Indian factories that supply the UK's leading budget clothes retailer, Primark. And to find out what life is really like for those making our bargain clothes, Alexa sets up her own fashion "sweat shop" in London's West End staffed by 15 volunteer members of the public, all budget fashion-lovers.
hired by a ruthless British tabloid to sniff out and find the vital facts about this newest addition to the UK's genetically appointed rulers.
What do London tabloid journalists do? Go through garbage? There's a law against that in these parts. Stakeouts? Instead, I wrote up a flyer asking people to call if they had information. I delivered it door to door in her neighbourhood.
The next day I was denounced on the city's biggest English-language radio station. The two old ladies who hosted the programme had received one of my notes. They thought my request to be an outrageous intrusion.
The tale of Autumn Kelly seemed about as typical as could be. She was born and raised in a sleepy suburban area, had a typical upbringing and met a well-off guy and moved to London. No big deal.
"supplies of the essential commodity called 'reliable news' are 'dwindling' fast"
the civic labour performed by journalists on the ground cannot be replicated by legions of bloggers hunched over screens. It cannot be replaced by a search engine or supplanted by shouting heads and satirical TV shows. Most of the blog world does not even attempt to report. It recycles. It riffs on the news. And that's not bad. It's just not enough, not nearly enough.'
Reprocessing didn't bring us last week's Mail on Sunday scoop about Labour funding. Reprocessing can't cover wars or dive into foxholes. Reprocessing is an edifice built on other people's toil, trouble and, sometimes, courage. And if, 10 years on, reprocessing is all that's left, then the media information tsunami will have been exactly that: a digital disaster
Emily Miller, 25, who claimed to work for a charity that helps Indian children, applied for a £40,000-a-year job as assistant to Conservative Party chairman Caroline Spelman.
