From collaboration to cultivating sources, here are five key themes from this year's Global Investigative Journalism Conference
Earlier this year, 1,700 investigative reporters, media experts and academics from across the world descended on Hamburg for the Global Investigative Journalism Conference (GIJC), organised by the Global Investigative Journalism Network.
Patrick Egwu took the 250 panels, workshops and training sessions and distilled five recurring tips for journalists in this article for Ijnet.
Egwu explained that one prominent theme was the need to collaborate, with editor and co-founder of the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project Drew Sullivan emphasising its importance during a panel.
"If you're a journalist and you're not collaborating with other journalists from other organisations, you're far behind," Sullivan said.
