Abstract
The paper concerns the evolution in practicing the profession of investigative journalist over the last two centuries. The author analyzes the reformulation of investigative journalism – from individual investigations, through so-called ‘tour-guide reporting’ to the creation of I-Teams, or teams of “muckrakers.” The author refers to a number of the best known examples of such operations in both North America and Europe. Western media activities are compared with the experience of Polish editorial teams, where such a cooperation formula has operated since the first half of the 1990s. Also discussed are cases of transnational journalistic investigations over the past two decades. They exemplify the latest formula of such cooperation. In these operations many muckrakers participated – even more than a hundred reporters in the biggest investigations.
