The Global Investigative Journalism Network has opened the submissions for the Global Shining Light Award, a unique award which honors investigative journalism in a developing or transitioning country, done under threat, duress, or in the direst of conditions. Top winners will receive an honorary plaque, US$2,000, and a trip to the 2019 Global Investigative Journalism Conference in Hamburg to accept the award in front of hundreds of their colleagues from around the world.
This week we’re launching a new series on GIJN’s YouTube channel, Talking Investigative Journalism, which features one-on-one interviews with groundbreaking investigative journalists around the world. We’re bringing you four videos featuring the 2017 recipients of the Global Shining Light Award.
