The Elements of Journalism book identifies investigative reporting as a new approach to journalism and an important development in the field. This approach invokes journalism's role as a watchdog for society, contributing as the fourth estate of government and as an activist for society. Investigative journalism means taking a look at trends and sources and slowly finding a story that is of some importance to society. Journalists may create an expose which brings a charge against a person in power or an institution. Journalists should realize they are acting as a prosecutor in this case and make sure they have sufficient information and evidence to make a claim. Elements of Journalism makes the argument that investigative journalism requires resources and will require organized professional journalism rather than lone whistle blowers who sometimes uncover a story. Investigative journalism may be in decline due to the downsizing of large journalistic institutions. A new style of information presentation can be found in the Syria deeply article discussed. It is a website which presents information on the war in Syria in modules and links. It provides background information as fixed stories and commentary and interpretation linked to stories. This style is similar to charts mixed in with stories found in places like the New York Times magazine and is a new way to delve into current events and journalism on a particular topic all in one place
