The Global Investigative Journalism Network and the Native American Journalists Association have created a resource to help Indigenous journalists doing in-depth and watchdog reporting.

This unique guide is designed to encourage Indigenous journalists worldwide and to empower them with tips, tools, and sources for information.

The chapters include:

• • Data Journalism on Indigenous Communities
  • Land Ownership: Community Rights Under Threat
  • Investigating Criminal Justice
  • Exposing Exploitation and Corruption
  • Covering the Climate Crisis
  • Investigating Murdered or Missing Persons
  • Indigenous Data Sovereignty
  • Getting Documents, Dealing with Whistleblowers, and Staying Safe

In conjunction with the introduction of this guide, a training/networking program is being held for Indigenous journalists from eight countries at the Global Investigative Journalism Conference in Hamburg, Germany, on September 26-29, 2019.
