Long-Term Investigative Projects

Some investigations require more than a quick research exercise. They require immersion.

Mara Intelligence undertakes substantial investigative projects lasting weeks or months for newspapers, magazines, documentary companies, publishers, journalists, lawyers and other professional clients.

Long-Term Work May Include


  • Learning the history of a case
  • Building detailed chronologies
  • Identifying important individuals
  • Locating witnesses
  • Developing human sources
  • Archive research
  • Analysing large quantities of material
  • Interviewing
  • Testing allegations
  • Following new leads
  • Returning to previously overlooked evidence
  • Identifying contradictions
  • Preparing investigative reports
  • Supporting journalists, producers or lawyers throughout a developing case

I particularly enjoy the investigative rabbit holes where one question leads to another and a fragmented collection of facts gradually becomes a coherent picture.

Long-term investigation provides something a search engine cannot:

Context.
