Investing in investigation</b></span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">In the fight against
corruption, free media is crucial. It exposes malpractice and enables citizens
to demand change. Despite the decline of global press freedom, the media’s
power to curb corruption can be harnessed.</span>

use it to save lives and help those in need. But its power to spread information
means social media can escalate crises too.</span>
