While academic research has mainly focused on how
legacy media organisations conduct their general news
production work, fewer studies have focused on specialised practices such as investigative journalism in relation
to innovation and technology. Scholars, however, have
observed that news production is increasingly taking
place outside the newsroom. In this context, the present article explores the ways in which emerging media
organisations innovate and adapt practices of watchdog
journalism within their staffs and facilities. Its case studies include a co-op that seeks to engage ordinary citizens
in production; a collaborative data desk that aims to professionalise a variety of actors, including local journalists,
citizen journalists, activists, hackers, developers and media organisers; and a global tech company that seeks to
produce investigative journalism with national but also
global resonance.
