“The sustainability of investigative journalism still remains a challenge. Many institutions have gotten rid of their investigative journalism desks because they require a lot of investment in order to survive.” - #AIJC2020
“There is also an issue of safety concerns for journalists. This has also lead to censoring of journalists - many journalists being sent to court for the work they have been doing.” - @vicbwire
