Mission Statement
Our core mission is to support and strengthen investigative journalism around the world—with special attention to those from repressive regimes and marginalized communities.
About This Cause
The Global Investigative Journalism Network serves as the international hub for investigative journalists around the world. GIJN provides state-of-the-art tools, training, and networks to link together the world's most enterprising journalists to investigative corruption, abuses of power, and lack of accountability. Our membership consists of 244 nonprofits in 90 countries devoted to spreading and strengthening quality investigative reporting, including in restrictive or repressive regimes. Our audience is global, however, and extends to journalists everywhere, including major media reporters, free-lancers, documentary producers, and book authors, as well as citizen journalists and NGO staff. Founded in 2012, GIJN is the "network of networks" for the world's investigative journalists, publishing in 12 languages a day to over 375,000 followers on social media worldwide. GIJN's Help Desk has responded to more than 12,000 requests for assistance, and maintains a multilingual resource center visited by journalists in 140 countries per day. GIJN is supported by grants and donations, which we use to train journalists in state-of-the-art techniques that include cross-border collaboration, data analysis, satellite imagery, and tracking of ships and aircraft around the world. We hold conferences that, through fellowships, have brought over a thousand journalists from developing and emerging countries to learn from Pulitzer Prize winners, data experts, security specialists, and legal advisers. Through interconnected networks online and in person, GIJN's reach extends to nearly every country, linking together journalists so they can collaborate and learn and support each other. Our Resource Center provides them with over a thousand tip sheets and reporting guides in 12 languages, while our Help Desk answers questions from 200 journalists each month. GIJN uses grants and donations to extend our reach around the world to those most in need of investigative reporting, particularly to journalists from disenfranchised communities and repressive countries. Our programs have trained women, LGBTQ, and Indigenous journalists, and worked to build capacity among independent, watchdog media in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. Our translation program provides state-of-the-art investigative techniques to journalists in such languages as Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, Russian, Spanish, Turkish, and Urdu, with over 800 translations in 2021. Recent GIJN translations include guides to investigating femicide, wildlife trafficking, surveillance gear bought by governments, forensic analysis of violence by security forces at public protests, and COVID-19 spending on vaccines and other contracts. "GIJN has helped journalists develop the skills that expose massive kleptocracies and the hand-in-glove arrangements between global companies and deadly policies," wrote Pulitzer Prize winner David Cay Johnson about us. "A little money wisely spent can produce huge results in terms of public benefit." In an extensive outside evaluation of GIJN, Ellen Hume of International Media Development Advisers wrote: “By every measurement, GIJN is a remarkable success. Donors and civil society actors are recognizing this as a unique global who’s who of today’s best investigative journalists, joining forces to extend and build the profession… GIJN is perfectly positioned to serve the field, as cross-border, collaborative investigative work generates new excitement, counteracting the fake news and other media distractions that are disrupting the ability of publics to hold the powerful accountable… GIJN has barely begun to fulfill its potential.”
