Welcome, everyone, to Uncovering Asia: The Second Asian Investigative Journalism Conference. From September 23 to 25, we are bringing together top investigative reporters, data journalists, and media law and security experts from across Asia and around the world.
Below you will find more than 60 sessions and special events. There are panels on digging out hidden facts online, the environment, business, and how to fund your project; seminars on security and tracking dirty money; data journalism workshops by the best in the business; and much more.
You can follow us on Twitter at #IJAsia16. On behalf of your hosts — the Global Investigative Journalism Network, Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung, and the Centre for Investigative Journalism, Nepal, we wish you a big hello! Namaste!
Great story projects, investigative techniques, and collaborations have come out of GIJN conferences since our first meeting in 2001. We know that good networking is key to this. To better connect people, we have arranged several informal networking sessions. Here’s a chance to talk about your work, meet your colleagues covering similar topics, share contacts and ideas, and find your next great story.
Our hosts, Stevan Dojcinovic and Drew Sullivan, are two of the world's leading journalists covering organized crime. Through the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, they have run cross-border investigations reaching into dozens of countries. OCCRP's projects have resulted in US$ 2.8 billion in assets frozen or seized, 55 criminal investigations launched, and 115 arrest warrants issued.
