The 2021 Global Investigative Journalism Conference is this November 1-5, and for the first time, we’re doing it all online. The conference is the seminal international event in investigative journalism, featuring practical panels and workshops on the latest investigative techniques, data analysis, online research, cross-border collaboration, and more by the best journalists in the field. Since 2001, we’ve trained over 8,000 reporters, sparked headline-making collaborations, and spread investigative reporting worldwide.
This year’s online conference (#GIJC21) includes a global schedule with regional, continent-specific programs, multiple language translation, and lots of networking opportunities.
Admission is just $100 USD — for five days of programs — but if you can’t afford that, GIJN is offering fellowships to journalists in developing and transitioning countries. Thanks to the support of our sponsors, we can waive the registration fee for a limited number of applicants. Competition is keen, so you need to convince us that you’ll make great use of the training GIJC21 offers. GIJN will notify the winners via email by the end of September 2021.
SPECIAL CATEGORY: Environmental and Organized Crime
