Al Jazeera Investigates is a one-hour current affairs and investigative journalism program that is aired on Al Jazeera English and Al Jazeera America that focuses on a specific topic per episode through in-depth documentaries.
Team and role
Formed in 2010, in its own words: the role of Al Jazeera Investigations is not to report the news, but to make the news.
The Unit, also known as 'the Investigations Team' or, simply, 'Al Jazeera Investigations' is based at the Network headquarters in Doha, but also has representation in London, Washington, DC and San Francisco. The unit is a Al Jazeera Media Network asset and its reports will appear equally on the other channels, tailored appropriately for the relevant language and audience.
The Unit's investigations resulted, amongst others, in the documentary What Killed Arafat? This film won a CINE Golden Eagle Award. In 2013, the Arafat findings were indeed reported as a news-item on other networks. It will reveal secrets and expose truths surrounded by silence.
The current Manager of Investigative Journalism for the Al Jazeera Media Network is Clayton Swisher. Other leading figures include: Josh Bernstein, Phil Rees, Ken Silverstein. At its launch, the unit had three separate teams.
