When an investigative journalist calls

At Evidence Live this year, the focus of the conference was on communication of evidence - both academically, and to the public. And part of that is the role that investigative journalism has to play in that. At the BMJ we’ve used investigative journalistic techniques to try and expose wrong doing on the part of government and industry - always in collaboration with clinicians and researchers.

To explain a bit more about the world of journalism and campaigning, we're joined by to Shelley Jofre - from the BBC, Jet Schouten - from Radar, Kath Sansom - who started the online sling the mesh campaign & Deb Cohen, former investigations editor at The BMJ.
