What’s the interest? There is always some level of risk as a watchdog and a higher risk for whistleblowers.  These people are the ones who keep track and communicate their findings or assessment - sometimes at great peril. Watchdogs often specialize in certain areas, but a number keep a more general eye open to the behavior of governments, corporations, and other organizations suspected of negative social impact or the betrayal of public trust.

QUOTE: “Government officials will not always act in the best interest of citizens. Without a free press to be a watchdog, there really are no restraints.”

Gene Policinski, journalist, editor - USA Today, executive producer
