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 is the one book you press into the hands of new acquaintances? The book that you feel will open their eyes to a truth about the world, or explain you to them in a succinct few hundred pages? Nonfiction and fiction alike are under consideration as storytellers talk about the single book that most influenced their lives.

You'll hear from Trent Dalton (The Weekend Australian), George Negus (broadcaster), Melissa Lucashenko (writer), Lenore Taylor (Guardian Australia) and the panel was moderated by Adam Suckling (Copyright Agency).

This podcast was edited by Kevin Suarez, for The Walkley Foundation, at the 2SER studios in Sydney Australia.
