Recognition for our work on bribery and corruption in Africa
In 2021, BBC 1 Panorama aired ‘Dirty Secrets of the Cigarette Business’. Filmed on location in South Africa, the documentary raised concerns about the activities of a blue-chip British company and was based on an 18-month investigation by TCRG, the BBC and the Bureau of Investigative Journalism (the Bureau).
In addition, two reports based on Bath’s research were published by STOP – a global tobacco industry watchdog in which Bath TCRG is the research partner. The reports are available from STOP's website BAT Uncovered.
As well as global media coverage, this work has received widespread recognition:
- long-listed for Private Eye's Paul Foot Award for investigative journalism
- the whistleblowers who provided documents to the investigation received a Blueprint for Free Speech award
- the BAT Uncovered website was honoured in the Webby Awards
- a podcast series based on the research, produced by the Bureau, won Best Investigative Podcast at the Publishers Podcast Awards
