A Storyology 2016 event co-presented with the Walkley Foundation

Investigative and public-service journalism shine a light on the world’s dark corners. In today’s globally connected world, leaked documents and data can be shared and analysed by reporters and citizen journalists anywhere. Major investigations into finance and corruption like the Panama Papers highlight the growing chasm between the world's elite and everyone else, and the role governments have played in creating it.

Speakers: Gerard Ryle, director, International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (US);  Lina Attalah, founder & editor-in-chief, Mada Masr (Egypt); Kate McClymont, investigative journalist with the Sydney Morning Herald: Penny O’Donnell (panel chair), Department of Media and Communications, the University of Sydney .

Lina Attalah was a guest of the Walkley Foundation Australia-Arab International Journalism Speaker Program, supported by the Australian Government through the Council for Australian-Arab Relations (CAAR) of the Department of Foreign Affairs & Trade.

Storyology 2016: investigative journalism, cross-border crime, corruption, and accountability

What happens to the news business when everything around us is connected and sending data to the cloud? We managed to find someone straddling both the news and the new Internet of Things to give us a super smart, fun tour of that landscape: Stuart Waite, ex-News Corp executive and current startup investor/consultant and digital transformation expert. He had a conversation at the Walkleys offices in Sydney recently with Michael Janda, senior digital business reporter at the Australian Broadcasting Corp and a Walkley Trustee.

WalkleyTalks is the podcast of The Walkley Foundation, which promotes and encourages Australian journalism. It's produced by Kate Golden at the 2SER studios in Sydney, Australia, and this episode was edited by Ninah Kopel. Music is "Puzzle Pieces" by Lee Rosevere.
