      Solution

      The phrase "investigating reporting" is incorrect because "investigating" is a verb (present participle), and it does not correctly describe the type of reporting.
      The correct word should be an adjective describing the reporting. The appropriate adjective here is "investigative," which means reporting that involves investigation.
      Alternatively, "investigation reporting" can sometimes be used, but the most common and correct term is "investigative reporting."
