Africa�s top undercover Journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, has signed an exclusive two-year deal with the Emmy, BAFTA, and Peabody award-winning production company, Insight TWI: The World Investigates. Insight and Anas have previously collaborated on award-winning documentaries for Al Jazeera English, in which Anas� exposes included the Tanzanian trade in albino limbs, money laundering in the Seychelles Islands, murder-for-hire of Ghanaian children, and high-level corruption in Sierra Leone. Anas, a private detective and barrister who has never shown his face in public, is renowned globally for his undercover skills. He delivered a headline TED Talk in San Francisco last year called �How I Named, Shamed, and Jailed� and was praised by U.S. President Barack Obama in 2009 as �a courageous journalist who risked his life to tell the truth.� Anas joins Emmy-winning Sierra Leonean journalist, Sorious Samura, to cover Africa for Insight. The International Press Institute praised Samura and Anas this year as �kings of investigative reporting in Africa.� �We will continue to work with Anas to name, shame, and jail bad guys around the world and to produce award-winning investigations for broadcasters and online,� said Samura. Insight�s Editor-in-Chief, Ron McCullagh, said the deal sets the stage for a major production effort focused on local investigative journalists around the world. �Anas spearheaded Africa Investigates, which we produced for Al Jazeera English,� said McCullagh. �He�s a potent player and we have big plans together. Soon you�ll be hearing about The World Investigates.�
