Bøker av Alvin Ntibinyane

Investigative Journalism in Africa is a window into the murky world of Africa's democratic watchdogs that tells the story of perseverance in the face of ubiquitous threats, imprisonment and harassment through the eyes of ten celebrated African investigative journalisms. The book answers the profound questions of 'why' and 'how' African frontline reporters do the work they do. Also documented are serious challenges facing investigative journalists in Africa. It sheds light on the lives of Africa's best muckrakers, and mostly, it casts new light on the motivations that drive them - against all odds and adversities. Divided into twelve chapters, Albert Ntibinyane first offers a brief history of investigative journalism in Africa, before focusing on behind-the-scenes vignettes chronicling the experiences of ten leading African muckrakers. These brief biographical sketches explore the contexts within which they work but focuses on their daily struggles, hopes and fears. Included are pictures, newspaper cuttings and other illustrations to complement the text.
