Manisha Ganguly is an investigations correspondent for The Guardian, previously known for a BBC career built on exposing war crimes. In the October 6, 2023 snapshot the opening said she "previously worked as investigative documentary producer for the BBC, where she won multiple awards for her work exposing war crimes." Today the opening says she "worked as investigative documentary producer for BBC News covering conflict and international affairs," and war crime appears zero times in the opening though it survives six times in the article. A reader today learns she covered conflict, and not that she won multiple awards specifically for exposing war crimes.
