67. Stephen Sackur: Hard Truth
BBC HARDtalk inquisitor-in-chief for nearly 20 years, respected news reporter Stephen Sackur issues a rallying cry for the vital role of investigative journalism in holding the powerful to account. From Daniel Ellsberg's exposé of the Pentagon papers to Alexei Navalny's anti-corruption fight in Russia and Daphne Caruna’s tackling of systemic corruption in Malta, Sackur highlights the work of ten brave journalists who risked all to reveal the truth. Journalists play an essential role on the frontline of the fight for democracy – a fight, Sackur argues, that can still be won.
