As a candidate for the new board in GIJN, he says:
GIJN needs a strategy for how to facilitate and promote further growth. It is important that GIJN remains a truly global movement, with a high credibility on all continents.
GIJN should also become a more visible voice in the public debate on issues related to the work our different members do to promote good governance, democracy, freedom of speech and the free access to information. GIJN should also try to influence policy makers in matters important to many GIJN members.
Another goal in the next couple of years, should be to develop a secure web infrastructure and market place where different GIJN members can exchange ideas, experiences and knowledge between the Global Investigative Journalism Conferences (GIJC). This is particularly a need related to the development of specific projects which are not that easy to discuss openly on the Global List.
