Mark Lee Hunter
Dr. Mark Lee Hunter is a founding member of The Global Investigative Journalism Network, and the principal author of Story-Based Inquiry: A Manual for Investigative Journalists (UNESCO 2009). He has trained thousands of journalists to manage and write investigations.
He has also trained thousands of executives (at firms including BP PLC, Allianz and Syngenta), MBAs and PhDs at INSEAD and Rotterdam School of Management in subjects ranging from strategic alliances to networking, stakeholder relations and leadership communication. Altogether, he has taught in 40 countries on five continents. He has been based in France since 1982.
Hunter's journalism earned him IRE, SDX, National Headliners, Clarion and H.L. Mencken Free Press Awards. His documentary on France’s alcohol lobby, Liquorgate (Arte), was selected for the FIPA international festival. His investigative books include a case-cracking inquiry into a murder that implicated the top ranks of the Paris art world and government, and an inquiry into France’s extreme right party, the National Front, that included sitting on its education council as a declared observer. His articles have been published by Harper's, The New York Times Magazine, Washington Post, Le Monde Diplomatique, and many others. In 2018, he pioneered investigative collaborations with NGOs in an eight-country investigation for Greenpeace.
His scholarly work has been published in Harvard Business Review, MIT Sloan Management Review, California Management Review, Corporate Reputation Review and other leading journals.
His most recent book with Luuk Sengers, Modern Investigative Journalism: A Comprehensive Curriculum, was published by Arab Reporters for Investigative Journalism in 2019. With Luk N. Van Wassenhove and Maria Besiou, he wrote Power is Everywhere: How stakeholder-driven media build the future of watchdog news (Stakeholder Media Project, 2017). The book served as the foundation text for the Future Media Management Programme at SSE Riga, which he co-founded in 2016.
His previous books The Hidden Scenario and The Story Tells the Facts, also co-authored with Luuk Sengers, focus on conceiving, structuring and composing fact-based narratives. All his books are available on the Story-Based Inquiry website. His doctoral thesis was published by Presses Universitaires de France as Le Journalisme d’investigation en France et aux Etats-Unis. Hunter is a founding member and slide guitarist in The Muckrakers, the house band of the GIJN. He is married to the architect and designer Sophie Julien.

Both Sides of the Postcard assembles five stories from Mark Lee Hunter’s career as an independent expat journalist in France, with design by SBI’s longtime partner Anne Barcat.
The pieces include hard-core investigative work into the extreme right’s pagan underground, an intimate look at an environmental culture war in a remote mountain valley, the history of a law that cleared the table of the Moveable Feast, an account of working with New Wave icon Jean-Luc Godard, and an exploration of the intersection between fiction and reality in the novelist Colette’s home town.
All have been updated and re-edited since their first publication in the 1980s and 1990s. They can be read for pleasure, as a contribution to expat literature, and as models of the Story-Based Inquiry method, which emerged as these stories were written.

“ARIJ (Arab Reporters for Investigative Journalism) has been using Story-Based Inquiry for over 10 years. And it was the best thing ever that happened to our Arab reporters. Thanks a lot Mark for giving us this to Arabic language and training our coaches to help us ‘change’ our Arab world and the world :)”
— Rawan Damen, Jordanian filmmaker, media consultant and the CEO and founder of Stream Media Consultancy
