Why go to a journalist rather than the police?

Hym "Because a journalist wouldn't be encumbered by a case-load that may limit the amount of time they can spend on a case. They aren't subject to laws in the same way that a state-sponsored investigative body would be. They may have resources the police might not. Easier for them to do undercover work. The reasons are legion."
