It’s been another exciting year at GIJN with some great original stories — including tips, tools, techniques, and case studies galore, as well as our regular series How They Did It, My Favorite Tools, and Focus (GIJN member profiles) — alongside some of our favorite reads from around the web.

What follows is a curated list of the top stories published on gijn.org this year, ranging from the hugely popular profile of The Intercept Brasil to tips on writing about extrajudicial killings and how mobile journalists can choose their next smartphone. You’ll find how to dox yourself, search Instagram like a pro, and recreate crime scenes with 3D imaging. You seldom see their names on all these great stories, so let us give GIJN’s crack editorial team a big thanks here: Tanya Pampalone, Gaelle Faure, Alastair Otter, and Eunice Au.

Look out for our list of top GIJN resources of 2019 this time next week.
