A Guide to the Global Conference

By |

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.

Hotel Deals End September 23

By |

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.

Welcome (Back) to Lillehammer — SKUP Gets Ready for GIJC15!

By |

The ninth Global Investigative Journalism Conference at Lillehammer, Norway, is now less than a year away. Your local hosts at SKUP — Norway’s investigative journalists association — went there last week and are pleased to report that plans for GIJC15 look most promising. For those who missed the fifth GIJC in 2008 — also hosted in Lillehammer — here are some quick facts about place and the conference venue. Lillehammer is a small city in the countryside north of Oslo. It is known as the host city of the Winter Olympics in 1994, and in recent years for the TV series “Lilyhammer,” about a New York gangster (Steven van Zandt) who hides in the town.
