Before she could even start to speak, Maria Ressa received a standing ovation, which brought tears to her eyes. She was out on bail, and was forced to pay a travel bond in order to leave the Philippines and come to Hamburg, where she gave a keynote address to an auditorium full of fellow investigative journalists from around the world.
Using command line to talk directly to your computer with lines of text rather than pointing and clicking can seem daunting at first. However, Max Harlow of the Financial Times explained at the Global Investigative Journalism Conference 2019 that it is not as challenging as it seems.
In a room so packed that people had to sit on the floor, three early adopters of data reporting explained the latest data trends and how to get data no one else has.
As we gather for the 11th Global Investigative Journalism Conference in Hamburg this week, it seems a good time to share again with our colleagues where the Global Investigative Journalism Network and its conferences come from.
The 11th Global Investigative Journalism Conference launched today in Hamburg, with its largest-ever attendance, at a time of troubling backlash against human rights, democratic norms, and an independent press.

The Global Investigative Journalism Network has opened the submissions for the Global Shining Light Award, a unique award which honors investigative journalism in a developing or transitioning country, done under threat, duress, or in the direst of conditions. Top winners will receive an honorary plaque, US$2,000, and a trip to the 2019 Global Investigative Journalism Conference in Hamburg to accept the award in front of hundreds of their colleagues from around the world.
Faced with huge demand for this year’s Global Investigative Journalism Conference, GIJN and its partners have suspended ticket sales to ensure we have enough capacity to cope with the large crowds expected. An unprecedented number of fellows, co-sponsors, and other attendees has pushed the amount of participants to a record level. For the latest news on conference availability and programming, be sure to follow our hashtag, #GIJC19.
Meanwhile, we’re delighted to announce that Maria Ressa, a TIME Person of the Year in 2018, will be our keynote speaker. A global symbol of press freedom, Ressa and her muckraking Rappler news staff are under sustained political and legal attack by the Duterte government in the Philippines. Ms. Ressa is as inspiring as she is courageous.
The Global Investigative Journalism Network, Netzwerk Recherche and Interlink Academy are delighted to be offering, with the help of our sponsors, more than 200 fellowships to attend the premier international gathering of investigative and data journalists this year.
