investigative
含义: Relating to or involving systematic inquiry, research, or examination, especially in journalism or law enforcement where wrongdoing is uncovered through detailed research.
Investigative journalism is the form most associated with this word — long-form, in-depth reporting that exposes corruption, fraud, or abuse of power. Famous British examples include The Sunday Times's Insight team and the Guardian's phone-hacking investigation. The term also applies to policing (investigative procedures) and science (investigative methods). It implies thorough, persistent, and often courageous inquiry.
