The African Investigative Journalism Conference (AIJC) returns to Wits University from 5 to 7 November 2025 for its 21st edition. The Wits Centre for Journalism invites journalists, media professionals, trainers and academics to submit proposals around speakers, panels, themes or training that would elevate this year’s event and help shape a rich, interesting and relevant programme.
The African Investigative Journalism Conference is running two Fellowship tracks in 2025 — one for practicing early-career journalists under the age of 30 with five or less years’ experience, and one for mid-career journalists with five or more years’ experience. Applications from freelance journalists are welcome.
