History

[edit | edit source]

In 2001, veteran journalists Brant Houston, then director of Investigative Reporters and Editors, and Nils Mulvad organized a conference of 400 investigative journalists from 40 countries in what would become GIJN.[3][4] GIJN was officially formed in Copenhagen as a loose network in support of the biennial Global Investigative Journalism Conference (GIJC).[5][6] The GIJN secretariat was officially formed after participants of the 7th GIJC in Kyiv voted for the formation of a provisional secretariat in 2013.[7][8][non-primary source needed] The organization registered as a nonprofit corporation in Maryland, United States of America, in 2014 and was approved as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service in October 2014.[9] Guidestar rated GIJN as 'Gold-level' for transparency of the organization's finances and leadership in 2023.[10]

In late 2023, GIJN was designated as undesirable in Russia.[11]

Global Investigative Journalism Conference (GIJC)

[edit | edit source]

GIJN co-organizes a biennial Global Investigative Journalism Conference (GIJC), to bring together investigative journalists across the globe to share their knowledge and expertise with each other and to form cross-border networks for collaborative reporting and referrals.[17][18]

The GIJC has been held in Copenhagen in 2001 and 2003,[5] Amsterdam (2005),[19] Toronto (2007),[20] Lillehammer (2008),[21] Geneva (2010),[22] Kyiv (2011),[23] Rio de Janeiro (2013),[24] Lillehammer (2015),[25] Johannesburg (2017)[26], Hamburg (2019), and Gothenburg (2023).[27]. The latest conference was held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in 2025.[28]

In 2021, owing to the Coronavirus pandemic, the conference was held online only.[29]

Since 2014, GIJN has organized investigative journalism conferences in Asia. The first Asian Investigative Journalism Conference was held in Manila (2014),[30] the second in Kathmandu (2016),[31] and the third in Seoul (2018).[32]

Global Shining Light Award

[edit | edit source]

GIJN gives out Global Shining Light Awards for excellence in investigative reporting "in a developing or transitioning country, done under threat, duress, or in the direst of conditions."[33]

The awards are presented to recipients in an awards ceremony held every two years at its biennial GIJC events. Past recipients include the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP),[34][35] Khadija Ismayilova from Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty,[33] Zulkarnain Saer Khan for his work at Secret prisoners of Dhaka[36] and Venezuelan investigative news site Armando.info.[37]
