Insight is the investigative team of the British newspaper The Sunday Times. The project was begun by Clive Irving in 1963. An early investigation was into the Profumo affair.[1] Insight is known for revealing in 1967 that the defector to Russia, Kim Philby, was the third man in the Cambridge Spy ring;[2] for investigating the thalidomide controversy;[3] and for revealing the secret manufacture of nuclear weapons by Israel.[4] In 2011, it exposed the FIFA cash for votes scandal.
