Scenario

When journalism partners face conflicts between industry access and investigative integrity

My music journalism partner and I have been investigating payola in playlist placement and we've uncovered some serious corruption but publishing it could destroy relationships with sources we need for future stories. We're split on whether our integrity as journalists means we have to burn these bridges or if we're being naive about how the industry actually works.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Collaborators must weigh the immediate impact of truth-telling against the long-term viability of their investigative work.
