In September 2022 a series of massive underwater explosions destroyed sections of the two Nord Stream pipelines built to transport natural gas from Russia to Europe via Germany. The investigation found itself in a highly politicised environment, with three schools of thought: The Russians did it. The CIA did it. The Ukrainians did it.

Are We All Working for the CIA?

Investigative journalism is expensive. As the cost of paying for it moves from the audience to big foundations, many of whom enjoy close relationships with Western states, how does that change the tone and rationale of what we produce?
