Global Investigative Journalism Network (https://archive.gijn.org/tag/belarus/)
GIJN is delighted to welcome nine new member organizations – a diverse group of nonprofit newsrooms from eight countries that are bravely holding individuals and institutions to account in tough press environments. These admissions now grow GIJN’s global network to 244 member organizations in 90 countries.
In this review of the best investigations in Russian and Ukrainian last year, the GIJN Russian team selected the stories that shed light on systemic societal problems in many countries in the region, and those which may inspire journalists in other parts of the world to investigate corruption, money laundering, and other topics using the same investigative methods and tools.
Longtime GIJN member SCOOP, based in Denmark, is a cross-border network of investigative journalists who help fund projects, connect reporters for collaboration, and organize conferences and trainings. On SCOOP’s 10th anniversary, our colleagues there put together an impressive list of activities, awards, and events, which we’re reprinting here in full.
