Abstract: Investigative journalism today suffers from a clear paradox. While the increasing complexity of economic, social and political phenomena, and the growing conflicts and disputes in various regions of the world require turning more to investigative journalism to explain and interpret them, its status in contemporary media has declined, especially in print journalism, due to the severe crisis it now faces given the interference of capital, wars and technology in altering its very nature. Investigative journalism today is very different from that which emerged in the United States at the beginning of the last century, particularly in terms of how data is collected and researched, as well as its structure and purpose. In this context, the study attempts to answer this complex question: Why has investigative journalism changed, and why has it not maintained its structure, style and methods of production? And is it possible to envision what it will become in the future? To understand this difference, the study attempts to read the development of investigative journalism from a structural perspective, which argues that journalism is a social construct, and that journalistic genres are not born in a ready-made and final form but are in a continuous state of rebirth. Ultimately, the study finds that investigative journalism has undergone genetic transformations that changed its structure and style within its historical development context. Civil society organisations play an important role in developing this journalistic type, opening it up more to social issues, and the emergence of forms of cooperation in carrying out major international investigative reports. This cooperation accelerated the "dawn" of investigative journalism, involving many media institutions, software specialists, data analysis experts and financial and legal experts. It equipped investigative journalism with digital tools that developed its methods of research, big data collection, verification and analysis. The study maintains that this transformation in investigative journalism does not hide its subjection to the logic of political economy, or its deviation from objectivity in the name of the state’s interests at times, its utopian nature at others, and its attempt to comply with the principle of
