Taking A Risk When Others Won’t
21 May 2025
Join veteran investigative journalist John Sweeney and Chalk + Blade Head of Content Jason Phipps for a Q+A about taking a risk on stories that cannot get funding. C+B partnered with John to make Was There Ever A Crime? The Trials of Lucy Letby ahead of the growing evidence of her mistrial. Why? Because despite the risks, miscarriages of justice are the most important of stories and must be investigated. With considerable success in reach and critical, if modest, Patreon funding, we will field questions about ways of moving an investigative/narrative forward and working without traditional commissioning or network funding.
