GIJC23 – Tracking Political Extremism

We are in the midst of a decade-long global backlash against democracy and human rights. A new extremism has taken hold, characterized by radical right-wing groups and ultranationalist political movements. These groups are not only growing but are becoming more organized. International ties among them are also growing — digitally, ideologically, financially — but their networks are poorly understood and investigative journalism in this area is lacking.

Here are three veteran journalists who have investigated the extremist right in different parts of the world. They will offer tips and tools on how to track and report on groups and individuals, with special attention to staying safe and working collaboratively and across borders with your colleagues.
