This Bachelor Thesis focuses on the analysis of the journalistic investigation "Panama Papers", a project of global scope in which collaboration has been a decisive factor. Almost 400 information professionals worked to relate and give light to the content of the largest journalistic leak known so far: 11.5 million documents. This collaboration between members of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) and associated journalists from different media in up to 80 different countries (including two Spanish, “El Confidencial” and “La Sexta”) has won the Pulitzer Prize in 2017 in the category of Explanatory Journalism. In addition, in Spain, the Madrid Press Association has for the first time awarded a collective in the category of "Best Journalist of the Year". As highlighted in its website El Confidencial, if the analysis of this leak had been made by a single journalist, he would have spent approximately 26 years reading all the documents. However, thanks to this collaborative journalism, journalistic objectives of international relevance have been achieved in a single year. This work reflects the evolution of investigative journalism in a digital context, from small dossiers to large leaks of databases, a fact that encourages the need to do collaborative journalism. ICIJ members, together with the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung, were the pioneers on this type of collaborative journalism in Swiss Leaks, Lux Leaks and China Leaks. In the following sections, the state of the art will review the fundamental theoretical framework for the purpose of this research. Specifically, the evolution of the modus operandi from the investigative journalist to the data journalist caused by the growth of the leaks will be analyzed. In addition, the main characteristics of the first collaborative researches, primary attempts of collaborative journalism, will be explained. Then, data journalism, its methodology of work and the foundations of collaborative journalism in the context of the transformation of journalistic newsrooms will be discussed. In order to provide a practical point of view to this Bachelor Thesis, the phases of a journalistic investigation with data, as well as the communicative platforms that facilitate journalistic collaboration will also be analyzed: platforms with very high security protocols that guarantee the confidentiality in long distance communications. Next, in light of the theoretical framework, the qualitative methodology used in this work will be explained, which consists in telephone interviews with three of the journalists involved in the Spanish chapter of the research. Finally, the results will be presented in a synthetic way from the interviews through a questionnaire that seeks to analyze this type of work in investigative journalism. The conclusions of the present study indicate that this journalism does not radically change traditional journalism, but it does illuminate an increasingly necessary model in a digital and global context parallel to the economy and international politics. It can be concluded that in the coming years, the collaboration of many professionals will be more and more required in investigations that, due to the volume and the theme, will call for the creation of multidisciplinary teams: to deal with global crimes, we must do global journalism.
