GIJN followed up on the detailed testimonies of five reporters who have come to past Global Conferences to better understand and hear, in their own words, how these events have furthered their journalism.
The inaugural Global Investigative Journalism Conference 25 years ago came from a radical idea: gather reporters from around the world to share techniques and inspire each other. It changed everything.
This popular, full-day session with investigative trainer Henk van Ess is back once again, teaching how to use AI for source discovery and data analysis, stop hallucinations, and prompt more effectively.

This award, sponsored by GIJN, honors investigative journalism in a developing or transitioning country, done under threat, duress, or in the direst of conditions. Deadline to apply is February 28, 2027.
Organized in partnership with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), this session builds on the methods behind ICIJ’s Coin Laundry investigation, which showed how some of the world’s largest crypto firms have profited off scams, hacks, and other crimes.
We spent 12 months building an AI tool for our independent news site in Colombia. Here’s what it taught us about running a newsroom in the age of AI.
A step-by-step guide to investigating online across the world, including how to find material from dead government links, and tracking down material in languages that you do not speak.
In 2001 GIJN was born, as investigative journalists from around the globe met for the very first time to share ideas, tips, and best practices to strengthen their reporting in a world where journalism was increasingly under threat.
Today the threat has multiplied, and at GIJN we find ourselves under the same pressures as our member organizations. Most urgently: available funding for investigative journalism has been impacted as some longtime funders who supported journalism in the past are no longer doing so or have closed. Yet our work continues, more important than ever before.
GIJN serves as the global hub for the world’s investigative reporters. Our core mission is to support and strengthen investigative journalism—with special attention to those from repressive regimes and marginalized communities.
We are embarking on our first-ever campaign initiative to help us expand our revenue by the end of the year through individual donors. If you have ever joined one of our free webinars, used one of our free resources, learned a new skill thanks to a GIJN training, or simply believe that press freedom is essential to civil society, we ask you to show your support for GIJN’s work with a donation of your choosing. Called “Friends of GIJN,” this campaign includes a more personalized experience, starting in 2027, for individuals who answer the call to join with us during this unprecedented time.
Truth and democracy are under attack around the world. You can fight back by helping GIJN support investigative journalists with free access to the latest tools and techniques — so they can foster justice and hold accountable those who abuse the public trust.
With a staff based in 24 countries, GIJN works in a dozen languages each day, linking together the world’s most enterprising journalists, offering state-of-the-art training, webinars, tip sheets, and a Help Desk that responds to 2,000+ requests for assistance each year. More than 84% of GIJN’s operating budget goes directly to our program work.
Please make a gift today to support journalists on the front lines of the fight for accountability and human rights.
