In pursuit of its continued focus on holding power to account—locally, nationally and globally—investigative journalism1 as a practice has actively incorporated various digital skills and capabilities. The embrace of digital journalism has led to collages of skillsets that have come together in new ways to complement one another or merge into something unprece-dented. These processes of hybridisation are regularly discussed in relation to how journalism is undergoing riveting change; as a concept, hybridity challenges traditional notions of how journalism is being produced and by whom. Domingo (2016, p. 145), for example, points out that hybridisa-tion is taking place within journalistic practices both overtly and covertly amongst a range of (new and traditional) actors, platforms and organisa-tions. The hybrid combination of digital and traditional physical forms of journalistic collaboration has also given rise to new horizontal processes (Russel, 2016, p. 149).While much has been written about various types of investigative jour-nalism, few researchers have looked at how the practice of investigative journalism adapts to hybrid organisations, hybrid technology and hybrid professional cultures. Chadwick (2013) is recognised as the scholar who has most increased our awareness of how traditional ways of creating media are blending and fusing with new ways. Chadwick uses an historical approach to conclude that ‘older and newer media logics in the field of media and politics blend, overlap, intermesh, and coevolve’ (2013, p. 4). In this book we are specifically interested in how such blending, overlap-ping, intermeshing and coevolving take place in new forms of investigative journalism in relation to new units, organisations, actors and technologies. Hamilton emphasises the impact of hybridisation upon journalistic prac-tices, products and forms (Hamilton, 2016, p. 164) while cautioning against adversarial conceptualisations of journalistic practices such as ‘mainstream’ versus ‘alternative’ (Domingo, 2016, p. 145). Here, we draw upon the concept of hybridity in several ways. Investigative journal-ism is, after all, a very expensive form of journalistic practice (Hamilton, 2016) whose production already typically involves professional journalists, non-journalists, editorial developers and activists; it boasts a unique ability to be hybrid in this sense. It also engages with crises, which compel further novel combinations of skillsets and actors.
