Celebrated undercover journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas has won international recognition for his innovative project that bridges investigative reporting and gaming.
The announcement was made at the Floodlight Gaming Connects Investigative Reporting event, where Anas’s work was singled out as a groundbreaking approach to storytelling.
The project seeks to adapt real investigative cases into interactive formats, allowing audiences to experience the challenges of exposing corruption, human rights violations, and environmental crimes.
Judges praised the initiative as a model for how journalism can evolve to engage younger, digitally savvy audiences.
Significantly, the success of this pioneering work was made possible through the support of the Organized and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) and other donor partners who believe in advancing new frontiers for investigative journalism.
Their funding and technical backing helped shape the project into a global example of how technology and storytelling can combine to strengthen accountability and public engagement.
Anas described the award as both an honor and a responsibility: “Investigative journalism must never stand still. With gaming, we have a new tool to bring truth to life and empower the next generation to demand accountability.”
This global win not only underscores Anas’s impact as Africa’s leading investigative journalist but also positions him as a pioneer at the intersection of media, technology, and social change.
