"Art of investigation: Based on actual events"
by Victoria Novikova
I talk about to investigate - it's a vocation. To investigate is to serve people, to work for the public good. The journalist is responsible for the minds of readers.
Now, most of the workshops are focused on cutting-edge methods of obtaining information, security, and new genres. The romance of investigative journalism, which was especially bright in the second half of the last century in the West, is fading. But it is there that accents and subtle lines are born. Fate depends on them. And at that moment, the investigator becomes an artist, and the investigation becomes art.

"Art of investigation: Based on actual events"
I developed a seminar for investigative journalists, those who want to become them, and those who are interested in them. My experience in investigations and the assessment of the market as a whole tells me: the world of journalism needs а graceful approaches. I have identified three pillars in the investigation and I can show them in a fascinating way.
Motivation
We examine the position and personal motivation as keys to an investigation using the Roman Polanski movie "The Ghost Writer" as an example.
Sources
The whistle-blower for a journalist is the door to an unknown world. We will see who they are and how to make brilliant moves with an insider in the masterpiece of Michael Mann "The insider".
Methods
Laws exist only in nature. For the investigative journalist - these are obstacles. We'll talk about the price of truth based on the Agnieszka Holland movie "Mr. Jones".
