David Schraven

Führungskreis
Den wichtigsten Satz seines Lebens hat David als Kind von seiner Mutter gehört: „Wir haben die Grenzen der Welt nicht gesetzt. Warum sollen wir sie halten.“ An diesen Satz denkt er, wenn er Comics mit Journalismus mixt, wenn er Reportagen ins Theater bringt oder mit Bürgern Recherchen startet. Was zwingt uns dazu, Journalismus nur als Zeilenschreiben zu verstehen, als Formatfüllen im Fernsehen? Nichts. Wir können Grenzen überwinden und alles erreichen, wenn wir nur den Mut dazu haben. David ist Gründer von CORRECTIV und leitet das Recherchezentrum als Publisher. In seinem früheren Leben füllte er Zeilen bei der taz, der Süddeutschen Zeitung, der Welt-Gruppe und dem von ihm mitgegründeten Blog Ruhrbarone. Bei der damaligen WAZ-Gruppe (heute Funke-Gruppe) war er für das Investigativ-Ressort verantwortlich. David wurde für seine Arbeit vielfach ausgezeichnet. Er lebt mit seiner Familie in Bottrop und geht gerne angeln.

Due fratelli stiddari a Pforzheim
Per abbandonare la Sicilia e trasferirsi a Pforzheim, al sud della Germania tra Stoccarda e il confine con la Francia, ci vuole davvero un buon motivo. C’è chi lo fa per cercare un lavoro, per raggiungere la famiglia o seguire l’amore. Altri invece a Pforzheim hanno trovato un rifugio dopo una sanguinosa guerra di mafia. Pforzheim è una città discreta, di medie dimensioni, perfetta per occuparsi in pace dei propri affari, che siano legali o meno. Il centro di giornalismo d’inchiesta di Berlino, Correctiv, ha mandato i propri giornalisti a Pforzheim a vedere da vicino.
CORRECTIV starts international graphic novel fellowship

Shedding light on TI
An investigation by CORRECT!V and German business daily Handelsblatt has unearthed gaping holes in the financial reporting of Transparency International. TI has been organising its International Anti-Corruption Conference (IACC) without proper accounting. Sponsors' fees paid by corrupt companies have been kept off-the-books. In one case, Transparency presents a Thai-language document with little relevance to the IACC as a conference audit. In this article we document both our research and also the crucial questions that remain unanswered.
Hide and seek
Transparency International claims to lead the global fight against corruption. But there are gaping holes in the financial accounts of its own multi-million euro anti-corruption conference. In 2012, the event was held in Brazil and partly funded by German taxpayer money. Yet there is no comprehensive account for the event. Some corporate sponsoring was kept off-the-books altogether.
