Greetings from KiniAcademy!
How have all of you been? Hope everyone is in the pink of health during this trying times. During the MCO, KiniAcademy conducted a 7-module Investigative Journalism on Corruption programme with the support of the Malaysian Reform Institute (MARI) and the US Agency for International Development (USAID). Twenty participants consisting of reporters, writers and researchers attended the online course. They were exposed to the various techniques and challenges of investigative reporting focusing on corruption. At the end of the three-month programme, participants produced their investigative stories in teams, under the mentorship of Malaysiakini editors and some of Malaysia’s well-known investigative journalists. One of the stories was jointly published by The Sun and Malaysiakini and actually got the relevant authorities to investigate the issue further.
