The participants were able to learn from their experiences and gain a better understanding of the complexities of investigative journalism.
The workshop not only focused on the technical aspects of investigative journalism but also emphasized the importance of ethics and integrity. Claudio La Camera stressed the need for responsible reporting and the impact it can have on society. He encouraged the participants to always verify their sources and present the truth, even if it goes against popular beliefs.
The workshop concluded with a panel discussion, where the participants presented their findings on the “sequestro processo” case. The depth and quality of their work were commendable, and it was evident that they had imbibed the skills and values taught during the workshop. Claudio La Camera was impressed with their work and encouraged them to continue their pursuit of investigative journalism.
