Journalism method survey

The Footprint Evaluation Initiative invites you to participate in a survey to co-create a new method page for the BetterEvaluation website.

The new method page will focus on using investigative journalism and high-quality news articles as a data source in evaluation.

We would like to hear from you about your experiences using this method, any resources you have found useful, examples of its use in evaluations, and any advice you have for choosing and using this method effectively.

Thank you for your participation and valuable input.
