The News Of The World phone hacking scandal has placed investigative journalism at a crossroads.

The Leveson inquiry will result in a muzzled press. Yet the need for high quality investiagtive journalism has never been greater.

Our Investigative journalism course will help you start a career in investigative journalism - and to earn money while writing about the issues that are important to you.

You will have one of the UK's leading ex-investigative reporters as your tutor. And you will learn how to work effectively - and legally.

Your investigative journalism course tutor



Your tutor will be Cleland Thom, who is recognised as one of the UK's leading corporate media and communications trainers.

He has worked on investigative assignments for the Sunday Mirror, the News of the World and the regional press.

His 25-year investigation and campaign to free two men wrongly convicted of a double murder was nationally acclaimed and was featured in the Press Gazette, on an ITV documentary and on BBC 2's Rough Justice.

He worked on an expose of an alleged ticket scam at Chelsea FC and investigated a fraud by a London landlord which resulted in one man going to prison.

Another investigation into corruption in the Haringey Emergency Corps also resulted in another man going to prison.

He now trains investigative journalists from some of the UK´s leading regional papers.
