Global Investigative Journalism Network members have voted to hold the next Global Investigative Journalism Conference in Hamburg, Germany. GIJN’s member groups also voted to re-elect five current board members who were up for election this year, and two new board members.
Mark your calendars! Be sure to join us for the seminal event in investigative journalism for 2017 — the Global Investigative Journalism Conference. It’s the GIJC’s 10th anniversary and our first time in Africa. There will be over 100 sessions, all targeted at working journalists determined to dig beneath the surface.
As we gather for the second Asian Investigative Journalism Conference, this seems a good time to share again with our colleagues where the Global Investigative Journalism Network and its conferences come from. It was a simple idea at the end of the 20th century — to gather the world’s investigative journalists to share their knowledge with each other — that gave birth to GIJN, which has now grown to 138 member organizations in 62 countries.
The Global Investigative Journalism Network is now accepting proposals for the 10th Global Investigative Journalism Conference, to be held in the autumn of 2017. If your organization would like to host the next GIJC after this year’s conference in Rio de Janeiro, now is the time to assemble and submit a proposal. Deadline to submit a proposal is August 15.
