openDemocracy has appointed Jim Fitzpatrick as ‘dirty money’ reporter, the latest in a series of key hires.

Jim joins openDemocracy after more than two decades at BBC Northern Ireland, where his roles included presenting the award-winning Spotlight investigations series.

Jim’s reporting role at openDemocracy will focus on political funding, corruption and influence in British politics and the role of British corporate structures in facilitating corruption both in the UK and internationally.
