The Erosion of Investigative Journalism

This chapter examines the decline of investigative journalism and the influence of private equity companies and hedge funds in shaping news narratives, leading to a loss of accountability reporting and potential conflicts of interest. It explores examples of ethical dilemmas in ownership structures of media and infrastructure projects, shedding light on the exploitative practices of large financial entities. The speaker advocates for regulatory guardrails to restrict the unchecked growth of powerful firms and emphasizes the need for public awareness and scrutiny of the impact of private equity on journalism.
