IN investigative internet Journalism some facts can be obtain through comments of the people in the internet. Example, a Journalist can send an article about corruption in the sector of health to the Social Media like Jamii Forum.
There, you will receive a lot of information about corruption in the health sector, some people will tell you how difficult to get treatment in the hospital without corruption, and the way corruption make someone to receive VIP treatment, even though they don’t deserve that status.
That information will help you to know how poor people get difficult to receive medical services from government hospitals. In that case, the next step for a Journalist will be to balance that information to the authority.
Another things a Journalist can do his/her investigation from the internet, is to visit the government website, there you will find a lot government’s promises, examples, construction of roads, bridges, crass rooms, hospitals and other projects.
So, a Journalist have to check the allocation of funds in the budget speech of each ministry, time of implementing the project, and if there was a participation of people in the area of the project.
In doing so, a Journalist can investigate whether, the funds allocated to the projects are all used to that purpose and no sign of embazzlement or corrucprion.
