The Global Investigative Journalism Conference is getting close! Our just-released newsletter includes highlights of the planned sessions and collaboration workshops for the big October 12-15 event, as well as information on the Royal Tulip, the conference hotel. You’ll also find an update on the three major awards that will be announced in Rio. This year we received more than 60 submissions from 35 countries for the Global Shining Light Award. The competition is so keen that our judges have called it “an embarrassment of riches.” And, as usual, you’ll find the latest resources in our toolbox section, and a calendar of upcoming events.
