Reuters teams up with legendary investigative journalist Bergman

Reuters latest investigative story got some help from one of the most famous investigative journalists of all time.

Award-winning investigative journalist Lowell Bergman, whose investigation of the tobacco industry for “60 Minutes” was chronicled in the 1999 Academy Award nominated feature film ‘The Insider,’ teamed up with Reuters enterprise editor Jim Impoco to edit a one-time collaborative investigation into a murder-for-hire case which sheds light on the links between China’s secretive triad societies and Macau’s booming gaming industry.

This six-month investigation, which is a collaboration with the Investigative Reporting Program at University of California, Berkeley, raises potentially troubling questions about one of the world’s largest, and U.S. publicly traded, gaming companies, Las Vegas Sands, which plans to open a $5.5 billion Singapore casino resort in late April.

The story ran this morning and can be found here.
