Global IJ Conference Program Released
We are happy to share the full schedule for the Global Investigative Journalism Conference, now just six weeks away. We’re still tinkering with it, but you’ll find over 150 events. Thanks to journalists and supporters worldwide, this conference keeps growing: we now expect over 900 participants from 100 countries. There’s still room if you want to join what will be the muckraking event of the year.
This gathering of investigative reporters and editors, tech and security experts, publishers and broadcasters, donors and NGOs, takes place this November 16-19 in Johannesburg, South Africa. We at the Global Investigative Journalism Network are co-hosting it with the Wits University Journalism Programme. You can follow the big event with the hashtag #gijc17.
