News never sleeps: when and how transnational investigative journalism complements law enforcement in the fight against global corruption

Grand corruption is a transnational problem requiring transnational cooperation among anti-corruption actors. Investigative journalists increasingly cooperate across borders to investigate and expose corruption with great success. Our research seeks to understand how investigative journalists have overcome difficulties and to assess the contribution that they make, alongside that of other actors such as law enforcement, to global collective efforts to tackle grand corruption and illicit financial flows. We explore these questions through interviews with investigative journalists who have participated in transnational networks in Latin America, the Caribbean and the Balkans.
