If you believe journalism can be a force for good, listen in briefly. The Bureau of Investigative Journalism has a dedicated team of "Impact Producers" - it's their job to make sure that the findings we make get to the right people in the right way - policy makers, affected communities, regulators, business groups, prosecutors, whoever it might be. Our reporting is engaged with, not ignored. 👨🌾 Last year, we presented to several parliamentary committees. For the first time ever, migrant farm workers gave evidence to the House of Lords, after we reported their stories and facilitated them becoming witnesses. 👩🏫 After reading our exposé of Carter-Ruck, the world’s fiercest libel firm, Dan Neidle referred the firm the Solicitors Regulation Authority. 👊 We played an important role (along with tons of others) in the UK's Anti-Slapps coalition - which has already helped bring about a law to make abusive defamation lawsuits easier to dismiss. (A long way to go on that one still) 💸 After four years of uncovering a businessman allegedly scheming millions out of an indebted Essex council, that council is now suing the businessman to get its money back. The governing party was also just voted out. 🍍 We exposed that security guards on Del Monte's pineapple farm in Kenya allegedly killed people over a decade-long people. Kenya's human rights commission is investigating, the company brought in a human rights manager and tasked a new company with improving its security guard corps. 🐄 Nestlé dropped a major Brazilian beef supplier after we exposed how it sourced cattle from illegally deforested land. I'm going to leave it there, because I could go on for a long time. We've got so much to talk about that we just launched a newsletter called The Spark, which shares all the impact investigative journalism is making - yes our own, but other organisations' too.

Why do entrepreneurs love The Pivot Fund? Because it's the only fund where you can say, 'Plan A didn't work' and we reply, 'Great, let's hear Plan B through Z!
The truth is, #tech and #journalism both need each other to better serve audiences with critical, fact-based and truthful information delivered in the ways that audiences need and want it. Let’s talk about how we can do better and be better together.
If your newsfeed is anything like mine, your inbox this year has been stocked with news about Google shutting off news in one country and threatening to do so in another, reports about the significant drop in traffic and engagement on news sites after Meta algorithms deprioritized news, and a string of alerts about the angst around AI. Journalism's relationship with tech has been a toxic one. But it doesn't have to be this way. The truth is that journalism needs tech, and tech needs journalism for both to thrive. There's common ground to be found. Thanks to the Computer History Museum for providing me with the opportunity to write about this with other great pieces by Google News' Richard Gingras, Big Local News' Cheryl Phillips, The Globe and Mail's David Walmsley, Outlier Media's Candice Fortman (she/her), Hack/Hackers Sil Hamilton, Writing Atlas' Jennifer 8. Lee, and more! It was a pleasure to both attend the workshop and learn from so many. Read it here: https://lnkd.in/ehXvEuU7

💥Fake news has become a major issue, particularly in the digital age. To uncover fake news, it is important to evaluate the accuracy of the information being presented and investigate elements of the story that may seem suspicious. To begin with, it is important to look at the source of the story. If it comes from an unreliable or unknown source, it is likely to be unreliable. Additionally, look at the language used in the story. If the wording is exaggerated or emotionally charged, there may be a reason to doubt its accuracy. #fakenews

3moI support Matthew Syed's call, "to create a full cabinet position for the superb tax lawyer, Dan Neidle to crack down on the abuse of tax loopholes by the super-rich, which doesn't just create a fiscal black hole but fatally undermines consent for the tax system itself. Also give him a deputy to end the scandal of ministers and regulators going to work for companies over which they recently had oversight - and other forms of legalised corruption, like the travesty of the honours system."
