  • World in Action va ser un programa informatiu de televisió d'investigació fet per Granada Television per a ITV des del 7 de gener del 1963 fins al 7 de desembre de 1998. El seu periodisme de campanya va tenir sovint un impacte important en els esdeveniments quotidians. Els seus equips de producció sovint adoptaven riscos audaços i el programa guanya una sòlida reputació pel seu enfocament sovint poc ortodox. El programa fou venut arreu del món i va obtenir nombrosos premis. En el seu apogeu World in Action va atraure audiències de fins a 23 milions només a Gran Bretanya, equivalents a gairebé la meitat de la població. Els ministres del gabinet van caure davant les seves proves. Nombroses víctimes innocents del sistema de justícia penal britànic, inclosos els , van ser alliberats de la presó. En la celebració del premis pel 50è Aniversari del programa la va dir: "World in Action ha prosperat en revelar la corrupció i posar en relleu els tractes subministrats. World in Action ha de ser considerat com a periodisme d'investigació del millor." Una trobada melodramàtica post-judici el 1967 entre Mick Jagger i grans figures de l'establishment britànic, en la qual l'estrella del rock i la comitiva foren transportats en helicòpter a la gespa d'una country house, fou dissenyat per l'investigador de World in Action i futur director general de la BBC . Dècades més tard el propi Birt ho va descriure com "un dels moments icònics dels anys seixanta." Poc després que fos nomenada líder del Partit Conservador, Margaret Thatcher va dir dir al director general de la BBC, Sir , que considerava que World in Action consistia en "només un grapat de Trots. Els de , tanmateix, són uns malparits." La seva eliminació al cap de 35 anys va ser vista per alguns com a part dels problemes generals de la televisió britànica i de la ITV en particular. Un funcionari regulador de televisió comercial caracteritzava en privat el programa substitut com a simplement "esponjós". Altres van dir que l'eventual desaparició de World in Action's era la conseqüència inevitable de l'augment de les pressions comercials. En anuncira un fons de 250.000 £ per a un esquema de formació en periodisme d'investigació, va dir al novembre de 2011 que s'havia produït una disminució en el conjunt de periodisme d'investigació des de “la desaparició de terrenys de formació com World in Action".

Its production teams often took audacious risks, and the programme gained a solid reputation for its often unorthodox approach. The series was sold around the world and won numerous awards. In its heyday World in Action drew audiences of up to 23 million in Britain alone, equivalent to almost half the population. Cabinet ministers fell to its probings. Numerous innocent victims of the British criminal justice system, including the Birmingham Six, were released from jail. Honouring the programme in its 50th anniversary awards the Political Studies Association said, "World in Action thrived on unveiling corruption and highlighting underhand dealings. World in Action came to be seen as hard-hitting investigative journalism at its best." A melodramatic post-trial encounter in 1967 between Mick Jagger and senior British establishment figures, in which the rock star and his retinue were wafted by helicopter onto the lawn of a stately home, was engineered by then World in Action researcher and future BBC Director General John Birt. Decades later Birt himself described it as "one of the iconic moments of the Sixties." Soon after she became Conservative Party leader, Margaret Thatcher was said to have told the BBC Director General, Sir Ian Trethowan, that she considered World in Action to consist of "just a lot of Trots. Panorama, however, are bastards." Its removal after 35 years was seen by some as part of a general dumbing-down of British television and of ITV in particular. One commercial TV regulatory official privately characterised the Tonight programme which replaced it as merely "fluffy". Others saw World in Action's eventual disappearance as the inevitable consequence of rising commercial pressures. Announcing a £250,000 fund for an investigative journalism training scheme, Channel Four said in November 2011 that there had been a decline in the pool of investigative journalism since "the demise of training grounds such as World in Action".
