scrutiny journalism

Scrutiny journalism is a form of investigative reporting that involves carefully examining and questioning public officials, institutions, or practices to uncover truth, hold power accountable, and ensure transparency. It goes beyond surface reports to verify facts, reveal inconsistencies, and provide context, often uncovering issues that might otherwise remain hidden. By scrutinizing decisions and actions, this journalism aims to inform the public, promote accountability, and foster a more honest and fair society.
