“Go out and tell the truth. . .More power to you all.” Gavin MacFadyen welcomes students to the Centre for Investigative Journalism Summer Conference, July 2016.
Gavin MacFadyen founded and ran the Centre for Investigative Journalism (CIJ), helping to train thousands of journalists in the pursuit of factual inquiry and in defence of the public interest. In tribute, we republish this MacFadyen piece, first published as “In-depth Charger” by the Frontline Club on June 27, 2006.
Serious, in-depth journalism may be unwell but it is still alive in Britain despite an almost complete lack of institutional support in television, and limited resources in print and radio.
