Summary
Straipsnyje analizuojama tiriamoji žurnalistika Lietuvoje 2015-2020 metais, siekiant nustatyti tyrimų žurnalistikos kaitos ypatumus. Iki tol Lietuvoje buvo atliktas tik vienas mokslinis tyrimas apie tiriamąją žurnalistiką nurodant, jog 2015 metais tiriamosios žurnalistikos kaip žiniasklaidos rūšies Lietuvoje nėra, nors tiriamoji žurnalistika yra visuomeninis kontrolės įrankis, kuriuo siekiama atskleisti korupciją, galimą nusikalstamą veiką. Kaip pakito tiriamoji žurnalistika Lietuvoje per pastaruosius 2015-2020 metus ir išskirti esminius veiksnius, kurie leistų vertinti tyrimų žurnalistikos raidą.
