The European Investigative Journalism and Dataharvest Conference organised by Journalismfund.eu, is the most relevant networking event for investigative and data journalists in Europe.

Get it right – all of it, all the time! The Swedish weekly investigative TV program Uppdrag Granskning (Mission Investigate) has strict rules for quality control and fact checking. The process starts at the very beginning with a Devil´s advocate examining the idea. At the end every fact needs to be questioned and verified – line by line. Selection of facts and basis for conclusions are scrutinized. The method has built trust, both in the audience and between journalists and sensitive sources. UG editor Nils Hanson, who with his team invented the quality control system, shares his methods.
