Abstrakt: Criminalistics, another name for forensic science, is the application of science to criminal and civil legislation. Investigative journalism is the parent discipline of forensic journalism. A forensic journalist follows the "Ten Golden Rules" in order to ascertain the truth and spot errors by studying and researching it in any accessible medium. When forensics, which is thought of as combining science and law, is combined with journalism, a new phrase known as "forensic journalism" is created. Although not new in wealthy western nations, forensic journalism is a new field in our nation. It is challenging to pursue this as a career option since being a successful forensic journalist requires enthusiasm, tenacity, hard effort, patience, and my other attributes. Investigative journalism is a type of reporting where reporters delve closely into a specific subject of interest, such as significant crimes, government corruption, or corporate misconduct. Forensic journalism, which goes beyond what most journalists do, is described as being practised when journalists cross the boundaries between journalism and law in order to achieve something socially, and there is overlap in this action. This action frequently aids in revealing the truth and justice by gathering information that is admissible and withstands the scrutiny in court. Currently, journalism focuses on issues, whereas forensic journalism focuses on solutions to those problems. Broadcasting media, which is seen to be considerably more opinionated owing to organised discussion sessions, is a very close illustration of this discipline. In fact, forensic journalism compromises between the media organisation and the legal authorities. By structuring the reports so that they concentrate on the details of the entire crime under consent, the reports serve the interests of the media organisation, law enforcement agencies, as well as the general public and make the news much more interesting and informative. In other words, via forensic journalism, the media finally stands up for what it believes to be right. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
