In data journalism studies, the authors looked at the latest developments in data and reporting such as big data, spatial data and mapping visualizations. When it came to teaching journalism, authors included cross-border journalism education, investigative training to citizens and the opportunities and challenges of running student-led newsrooms.

Many papers reflected the broad geographical representation at the conference and examined specific challenges to investigative reporting in regions as diverse as Bangladesh, Nigeria, Pakistan, Mexico and India.

Readers will find many tips and tools for professors, trainers, investigative reporters and data journalists as well as advice for creating sustainable newsrooms. This mirrors the overall approach of the Global Investigative Journalism Conferences, which provides a vibrant venue for journalists to come together to share skills and training and plan collaborative projects.

The Investigative Journalism Education Consortium is a site where journalism educators and trainers can share their curriculum, syllabi, teaching methods and knowledge throughout the year. You can find other research papers on the site at ijec.org/research

The Consortium would like to thank all the authors who submitted papers and abstracts, the Global Investigative Journalism Network, Interlink Academy, Netzwerk Recherche, and Amy Schmitz Weiss, Anton Harber and Bruce Shapiro who joined Consortium coordinator Brant Houston in reviewing the paper submissions.
