E-Book: Reporter’s Guide to Investigating Fossil Fuels

GIJN’s comprehensive, seven-chapter Reporter’s Guide to Investigating Fossil Fuels is now available as a downloadable e-book.

This digital book version of the guide, which runs to 133 pages on a Kindle e-reader, includes expert analysis and practical advice to enable better investigations of the fossil fuel industry. It is now available on multiple online book platforms (see below) for immediate download at a nominal fee. Other book purchasing sites will be added soon.

• Amazon (US$9.99; Free on Kindle Unlimited)
• Goodreads (US$9.99)

The guide, which features an introduction and six subject-specific chapters, features contributors that make up the best in their fields (see below). It would not have been possible without the generous support of Journalismfund Europe.

• Geoff Dembicki from DeSmog offers guidance on investigating both private and state-owned fossil fuel corporations, highlighting reporting strategies.
• Lawrence Carter of the Centre for Climate Reporting provides insights into uncovering lobbying efforts that influence climate policies. 
• Amy Westervelt, executive editor and investigative journalist at Drilled, focuses on exposing greenwashing and disinformation within the industry. 
• Megan Darby from the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) delivers expertise on analyzing government regulations and policies affecting the fossil fuel sector.
• Josephine Moulds from The Bureau of Investigative Journalism shares her experience covering the complexities of the fossil fuel industry ecosystem.
• And Fermín Koop of Dialogue Earth offers strategies for assessing and reporting on the climate solutions proposed by the fossil fuel industry.

Note: All of GIJN’s resources, including the full, online version of this guide, are always available for free on our website. However, because the above online booksellers do not allow e-books to be distributed for free, we have set a nominal fee for downloading, most of which will go to supporting GIJN and our efforts to advocate for investigative journalism around the world.
