Thanks for your interest in me and my work.  

Dr. Mark Lee Hunter’s career has been divided between investigative journalism, scholarly research, training and consulting.  He is currently an Adjunct Professor and Senior Research Fellow at INSEAD, based in the INSEAD Social Innovation Centre.

He was a founding member of the Global Investigative Journalism Network in 2003, and serves on its coordinating committee, as well as the board of the journalism quarterly Message. He speaks regularly at international journalism conferences, to multinational corporations, and to news organizations about finding and using information.  As an investigative media trainer, he works with Arab Reporters for Investigative Journalism (ARIJ), France Télévisions, the London Centre for Investigative Journalism, and many other organizations.

He is the only person to have won awards from Investigative Reporters and Editors Inc., the world’s leading organization in the field, for both his investigative reports and his research on journalism.  His other journalism awards include the H.L. Mencken Free Press Award (given for work on government abuses), the Sigma Delta Chi Award for research on journalism, and the National Headliners and Clarion Awards for a series of articles showing how an obscure US law created a population of handicapped children, who were subsequently cut from welfare rolls.  (Many of these articles can be found on this site.)  He has also won the EFMD Award for case writing. 

All in all, he has authored or co-authored some 200 investigative reports for publications including The New York Times Magazine, Reader’s Digest, Le Figaro, and others.  His articles on media and communication have appeared in Corporate Reputation Review, Harvard Business Review, Columbia Journalism Review, Harvard International Journal of Press/Politics, the Journal of Business Ethics, and elsewhere.

His doctoral thesis in communications, published by the Presses Universitaires de France as Le Journalisme d’investigation en France et aux Etats-Unis, was the first cross-cultural study of French and American investigative reporting methods; his manual for investigative reporters, Story-Based Inquiry, was published by UNESCO in 2009. 

Among his other works are a pioneering study of work-life issues, The Passions of Men: Work and Love in the Age of Stress (Putnam, 1988); the first unauthorized biography of France’s most popular politician of the Left, Jack Lang (Les Jours les plus Lang, Odile Jacob, 1990); the case-cracking true story of a murder that implicated France’s power elite, Le Destin de Suzanne: La Véritable affaire Canson (Fayard, 1995); an analysis of the French extreme right and its militant base, Un Américain au Front: Enquête au sein du Front national (Stock, 1998); and a documentary film on France’s lobbies and their political connections (Chronique d’une campagne arrosée, Arte, 1999)

When not working, he performs and records on the electric guitar.
