Global Investigative Journalism Conference 2015 (https://gijc2015.org/category/news/page/5/)
David E. Kaplan, Executive Director of the Global Investigative Journalism Network, gave this welcome speech at the Opening Plenary of the Global Investigative Journalism Conference, on October 8, 2015.
The plenary session of the 9th Global Investigative Journalism Conference, opening today in Lillehammer, Norway, focused on how journalists are fighting back against the extraordinary level of attacks against them worldwide. After hearing case studies about their colleagues in Angola, Azerbaijan, Malaysia, and Mexico, journalists from 121 countries approved the following declaration.
After a year of calling the Pentagon and the U.S. Air Force and getting nothing, all that changed when former drone pilot Brandon Bryent agreed to share his story to Tonje Hessen Schei and her documentary team. Her film Drones was shown Wednesday night at the Global Investigative Journalism Conference.
We’re gearing up for the Global Investigative Journalism Conference with coverage that is multimedia, multilingual, and multinational. Here’s one of our new features: a social media wall that integrates #GIJC15 tweets and other items in a continuous flow. We’re a week away and the wall is already buzzing. Plus we’ll have four streaming video channels and an international team posting stories, interviews, photos, video, and lots of social media from GIJC15’s +170 sessions. You can also stay tuned to events through our conference app Sched, which lets users create their own schedule at the conference.
Welcome to the Global Investigative Journalism Conference! Our co-host SKUP, Norway’s Foundation for Investigative Journalism, put together this magazine packed with information on this unique event. Inside you’ll find a guide to GIJC15’s more than 170 sessions, plus tips on logistics, networking, and special events. There’s plenty of great reading material, too. The cover story features imprisoned journalist Khadija Ismayilova, and shows how her arrest sparked an investigative project exposing the ruling family’s hold on economic and political power in Azerbaijan.
The ninth Global Investigative Journalism Conference, to be held this October 8-11 in Lillehammer, Norway, will feature again an academic research track, highlighting trends, challenges, teaching methodologies, and best practices in investigative journalism. Here is the call for papers that is going out to journalism professors worldwide…
Coming to #GIJC15? Deadline for booking the full hotel package is September 23. After that date you can only register for the conference and the “day package,” which means you will have to book a hotel yourself. This also means that you no longer will be guaranteed our bargain all-inclusive price for hotel with all meals. Hotels in Norway can be a bit expensive and since Lillehammer is a small city, SKUP has negotiated a conference package with most of the hotels in the city.
From Seoul to Bogotá. From Tromsø to Johannesburg. The list of speakers and participants for GIJC15 at Lillehammer is filling up.
