Summary/Abstract: The paper presents a coherent set of information about investigative journalism with an emphasis on the practice and its position in the Slovak media environment. The scientific study is of a theoretical character and critically evaluates knowledge related to the phenomenon of investigative journalism, based on which the author formulates a definition of investigative journalism in the Slovak media environment. Within the text, the author also deals with the misuse of the term “investigative journalist” in media within the context of an issue, which aims to categorize, who presently is an investigative journalist, why investigative elements can be perceived in any journalistic activity but a boundary that would determine what is not a subject of investigative journalism, does not exist.
