GIJN Guide
How do you investigate in the field of health and medicine? We wrote on commission of the Global Investigative Journalism Network (GIJN) a comprehensive guide to help journalists and researchers that are new to this field. It comes with many examples, plenty of hands-on tools and the basics of our methodology, that combines the standards of investigative journalism and of evidence-based medicine (EBM).
This guide focuses on medicines and medical devices. It aims to provide journalists with the tools and knowledge to independently assess the evidence, critically appraise the risk-benefit ratio of any given product or policy, and expose corruption and malpractice. It can be read as a textbook, one chapter at a time, or used selectively to support your work.
Authored by Catherine Riva and Serena Tinari (Re-Check.ch), it was commissioned by the GIJN.
