GIJC23 – Cross Border Reporting: The Next Steps

Cross-border investigative reporting has come far since its early attempts in the 1980s and ’90s by a handful of nonprofits. Today’s projects are multinational efforts involving mainstream media, hundreds of journalists, and tech-savvy data analysis and security systems. But investigative journalists are in an arms race with autocrats and kleptocrats, who are using a new arsenal of spyware, onerous laws, and harassment against our colleagues, our newsrooms, and our sources. What is the next stage for cross-border investigative journalism? How will we use AI, new media, and secure communications to usher in a new era of global watchdog reporting? To discuss this, we’ve assembled recognized leaders in the field, who bring an extraordinary range of experience from a half-dozen countries.
