Sometimes investigative journalism begins with an anonymous tip. Sometimes it begins with an access to information request for secret government documents. In this case, Marcello Di Cintio started his investigation because he had an article reprinted without permission.

Featured in this episode: Marcello Di Cintio, Calgary-based journalist and author.
