Panama Papers: after “paras 2”, what about “paras 1”?

English culture gained a phrase: 'Panama Papers' as shorthand for elite offshore life. The film The Laundromat (2019) is a dramatisation. This atlas treats ICIJ's published stories and official inquiries as the record, not the movie. The Panama Papers are the type case of cross-border investigative journalism: a named firm, a dated dump, a consortium and a scatter of national outcomes rather than one dock.

The Guardian, the BBC and the McClatchy/Miami Herald desks were the main English partners on day one. English readers met a map of famous names before they met Panama's corporate law. That celebrity-first frame still shapes search results.

Panama Papers · paras 2

US English often filed the story as a tax-haven feature rather than as a Washington resignation. British English filed it next to Cameron's family finances and later next to Brexit-era 'elite' talk. Both are reception, not the whole cache.

Panama Papers · paras 3

English classrooms that teach the Papers as a journalism-methods case — shared servers, embargoes, local partners — are closer to the ICIJ record than films that invent composite spies. John Doe remains unnamed in public.
