The article considers the theoretical aspect of journalistic investigation genre features in the information space. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study was the works of modern journalists (V. Ivanov and O. Dudko, A. Babinets, G. Kryvosheya, V. Zdoroveha, O. Tertychniy, V. Karpenko, and others).

The journalistic investigation changed the course of history and since has taken priority positions among the most prestigious genres of independent media in America and later in European countries.

It is outlined that during the period of independence development from the beginning of the 90s of the 20th century, Ukraine has experienced many political and social scandals, during which dozens of officials were forced to resign in disgrace.
