If we just keep telling the truth

<p>Basma Mostafa, an Egyptian Investigative journalist in exile, takes us through her journey from field journalism to investigative journalism. She talks about how the revolution inspired her to be a journalist, her journey from field to investigative journalism and how she is learning new ways to cover Egypt from exile, being mindful of her mental health.</p> <p><em>“I love and enjoy collecting the information, and the verification process is really amazing because it’s like a puzzle. At first, you have nothing, maybe you have one piece of this puzzle. And you start to have the second piece and third piece and collect more and more and more and more until you have the whole image clear. And really this process is very amazing to me and exciting. Because when I collect all the pieces I feel power; I feel the importance of our job and our role.”</em></p>
