GIJN Bulletin
Global Investigative Journalism Network
A fortnightly, free roundup of investigative journalism guides, webinars, grants, fellowships, and conferences, in several languages. For journalists; OSINT is one thread among many.
The Global Investigative Journalism Network sends its bulletin to journalists in more than a hundred countries, roughly every two weeks, with language editions in Arabic, Bangla, Chinese, French, Russian, and Spanish and a monthly Africa bulletin. Issues carry GIJN's own guides, including recent ones on crypto investigation and AI accountability, plus opportunities and events.
