Investigative Journalism Goes to the Theater

11:45am on Friday, November 21
KLCC Level 4 - Plenary Theatre

About This Session

Increasingly, investigative journalism outlets are experimenting with theatrical performances to reach new audiences. This format has developed into two main models: journalists collaborating with actors to present their work live, and theatrical adaptations of investigative reports. These productions have shown strong public appeal, filling theaters and generating revenue. This panel examines the practical aspects of organizing such events, including budget planning, promotional strategies, as well as offering guidance for journalists considering this alternative storytelling medium.
