This GIJN workshop with Reuters journalist Ryan McNeill draws on investigations from conflict zones and restricted environments around the world. It will introduce participants to the fundamentals of satellite imagery and demonstrate practical methods for incorporating geospatial evidence into investigative reporting.
These exposés from Europe, South America, the Philippines, and the United States combined innovative data analysis with on-the-ground reporting to uncover critical environmental issues.
In this round-up of recent GIJN Academy masterclasses on data journalism, we share practical videos on data reporting basics, using spreadsheets, and incorporating satellite imagery.
Veteran exiled journalists from Iran, Venezuela, and Tibet discuss source protection best practices and publishing survival strategies when reporting on your home country from afar.
Going forward, two major commercial satellite imagery companies will apply a two-week hold on all images in the companies’ image archives.
At GIJC25, reporters explained how remote sensing, open source verification, and visual forensics are now central to covering conflicts that are inaccessible or dangerous for journalists.
GIJN’s top stories from the past year, including cutting-edge reporting tools and techniques, in-person conference presentations, and analysis of the state of the IJ community.
At a recent GIJN webinar, three experts explained how reporters can get regular, free access to high-quality satellite images covering almost anywhere on Earth.
In 2001 GIJN was born, as investigative journalists from around the globe met for the very first time to share ideas, tips, and best practices to strengthen their reporting in a world where journalism was increasingly under threat.
Today the threat has multiplied, and at GIJN we find ourselves under the same pressures as our member organizations. Most urgently: available funding for investigative journalism has been impacted as some longtime funders who supported journalism in the past are no longer doing so or have closed. Yet our work continues, more important than ever before.
GIJN serves as the global hub for the world’s investigative reporters. Our core mission is to support and strengthen investigative journalism—with special attention to those from repressive regimes and marginalized communities.
We are embarking on our first-ever campaign initiative to help us expand our revenue by the end of the year through individual donors. If you have ever joined one of our free webinars, used one of our free resources, learned a new skill thanks to a GIJN training, or simply believe that press freedom is essential to civil society, we ask you to show your support for GIJN’s work with a donation of your choosing. Called “Friends of GIJN,” this campaign includes a more personalized experience, starting in 2027, for individuals who answer the call to join with us during this unprecedented time.
Truth and democracy are under attack around the world. You can fight back by helping GIJN support investigative journalists with free access to the latest tools and techniques — so they can foster justice and hold accountable those who abuse the public trust.
With a staff based in 24 countries, GIJN works in a dozen languages each day, linking together the world’s most enterprising journalists, offering state-of-the-art training, webinars, tip sheets, and a Help Desk that responds to 2,000+ requests for assistance each year. More than 84% of GIJN’s operating budget goes directly to our program work.
Please make a gift today to support journalists on the front lines of the fight for accountability and human rights.
