Description

This month we’re sharing tips and tools to help you become an expert in financial investigations. From digging around corporate records, to tracking down public funding, money trails reporting is key to exposing wrongdoing. 


We speak with Margot Gibbs, senior reporter at Lighthouse, and Giacomo Zandonini, an independent investigative journalist, who share how following the money has strengthened their reporting, and tell us why you don’t have to be a numbers expert to do the same. 

Investigations mentioned in this episode:


Lighthouse Reports: Hunger Profiteers

  • Lighthouse Reports: Big Meat

    Lighthouse Reports: Turkey’s EU deportation machine


  • Hosts: Beatriz Ramalho da Silva, Tessa Pang
