As editor Karen Voisey says: "I'd like to hear from more people, to find out about their stories," she says. "People might think their own story is insignificant, but there's almost always a wider issue once you start digging. No job is too big or too small, as they say!"
"We speak to real people about their lives and we're trusted enough to get access to people that makes our programmes compelling. We'll get stuck into stuff other journalists either can't or won't touch. We're honest and fair, but at the same time, it's our job to scrutinise the use and abuse of power." In its 40 years, Week In Week Out has always created headlines with its uncompromising journalism and its commitment to tackling difficult public interest issues.
WIWO has earned its reputation by covering diverse subjects ranging from under cover reporting on paedophiles preying on young runaways, to the pitfalls of plastic surgery. But the one thing the investigations have in common is the powerful and gripping human interest stories which are central to the programme.
The series is synonymous with uncovering the truth which means it's often the first place that people choose to tell their stories and to talk about the important issues that affect us all.
