Amid an existential crisis in the media industry, more and more newsrooms are foregoing investigative reporting, which can involve a lot of resources without the certainty of a payoff.

We also speak to Malaysiakini's Aidila Razak on the ICIJ's latest financial expose, the FinCEN files and what it reveals about the global banking system.
