Global Investigative Journalism Conference
Nearly a thousand investigative journalists from a record 100 countries will converge in the Olympic city of Lillehammer, Norway, for the 9th Global Investigative Journalism Conference (#GIJC) on October 8-11, 2015.
Held once every two years, the GIJC is the world’s largest international gathering of investigative journalists. The event, first held in 2001, has grown into a giant training and networking event as investigative reporting has spread globally. GIJC15 will feature journalists doing extraordinary work despite some of the world’s toughest media environments, including China, Mexico, Nigeria, and Pakistan.
The conference is hosted by SKUP, the Norwegian Association for a Critical and Investigative Press, and the Global Investigative Journalism Network (GIJN), and is cosponsored by a range of partners worldwide, including International Media Support (IMS). GIJN is the world’s premier international association of investigative journalism organisations, with 118 member groups in 54 countries.
At over 150 sessions, top journalists and other experts will share tips on state-of-the-art investigative techniques, data analysis, cross-border reporting, online research, protecting sources, and more.
