Global Investigative Journalism Conference 2010 - Geneva

The Global Investigative Journalism network steering committee, who met in Lillehammer in October 2008, has mandated Geneva to host the 6th Global Investigative Journalism Conference. We have already started to work hard and are very excited to welcome you all at the Lake Leman, from Thursday, 22nd April to Sunday, 25th April 2010.

Due to general demand, a particular focus will be placed on banking and financial issues. How to access the mysterious Swiss banking system? How to investigate the banking institutions, here in Switzerland? We are working to create a varied platform, with first class panelists.

Some of you have also expressed the wish to take advantage of Switzerland being the headquarters of some of the largest international sports organisations and the IOC, to look into furthering contacts and means of research in investigating sports stories. This is going to be one of our focuses during the conference, especially as we will be just four months from the South Africa World Cup. And as you all know, our profession is going through a very hard time. Obviously, we will devote as many forces as we can to offer panels regarding new business models for investigative reporters
