Summary
This episode we talk to reporters Tomas Statius and Elena DeBre about getting sources to talk. We cover: How to cultivate sources Three techniques on getting sources to talk Tips for new reporters We talk about all this in the context of two of our latest investigations – the False Promises of Biometrics , that relied solely on source-based evidence to uncover a string of failed mega-deals that benefited DRC elites & left ordinary people with no proof of ID. And Poison PR , which exposed a US government funded campaign from a PR company to profile and target people trying to sound the alarm about the harms of pesticides and GMOs. -- Hosts: Beatriz Ramalho da Silva , Tessa Pang Sound design, mixing and editing: Spoovio - Audiovisual Productions -- Website - Twitter - BlueSky - Instagram - and you can email us at [email protected]
