If we consider the social problems that took an upward path in complexity
and crisis for the life of the individual and society, it is natural that this dilemma
paid specialists to search for multiple areas in order to reach logical solutions to
ensure individual rights and thoughtfulness of his duties to confirm his being
human in the construction, development and adoption of transparent behavior of
building nations. From that prompted the need for decades is not long to find a
new journalist style has been called "investigative journalism", which is known as
having certain qualities and social importance of essential news, based on the
research work controls professional neutral and not a leaked investigations of the
official authorities, show a pattern of multiple problems repeated, not just one
isolated incident, and reveal ways to correct the errors, and explain complex social

Western yards. Over the four years of continuous work Arabs in this area and the
efforts of the first Arab media organizations (ARIJ) to focus on involving Arab
journalists in the sessions to study the concept of investigative journalism in order
to complete the survey investigations on various issues of concern to public
opinion, professional specifications, it was to achieve some tangible thing , when
