Time to climb out of the sewer

David Leigh

City University journalism department, London

Award-winning Guardian reporter Leigh draws upon Nick Davies' new book, Flat Earth News, is examining the state of investigative journalism today and concluding: "The waters of British investigative journalism in 2008 certainly appear to be heavily polluted. But nonetheless, along with the tide of dead dogs, used condoms and toxic waste, there do seem to be nutritious public interest fish still to be caught. Liberty is indivisible, as the saying goes. And a free press is better than any of the alternatives."
