What exactly is investigative journalism? And what function do you believe investigative journalism serves for society? Daniel Drepper, Co-Founder of CORRECT!V, the first non-profit research office in the German-speaking region, believes that its function is to reveal the truth, to uncover facts many people want to keep hidden, to re-establish fairness and to shine light in dark places. That is exactly what Daniel Drepper is up to. After his studies in the US, where he got to know the advantages of data journalism, Daniel wants to accelerate this way of providing information to the general public in Germany. In his talk Daniel will focus on the role of investigative journalism in today's society.
