Welcome, everyone! Here’s the program for the 8th Global Investigative Journalism Conference, (#GIJC13), scheduled for October 12-15, 2013, in beautiful Rio de Janeiro. It’s the first time we’re holding the GIJC in the global south, and we’re combining it with two other key events in journalism: the annual Latin America Investigative Journalism Conference (COLPIN), and the International Congress of ABRAJI, Brazil’s investigative journalism association. Panels and workshops will be available in languages as marked: English (Eng), Portuguese (Port), Spanish (Span). Plenary and showcase panels will be translated into all three. There will be streaming video available for all plenary and showcase panels and all those held in the RDC auditorium (C1). We look forward to seeing you in Rio!
Join us at the magnificent Theatro Municipal, one of the most beautiful buildings in Brazil, for the GIJC13 awards ceremony. The conference will announce and present three major sets of international investigative journalism honors: the Global Shining Light, Daniel Pearl, and Latin American Investigative Journalism awards. Abraji will also pay homage to pioneering Brazilian editor Marcos Sá Corrêa, and GIJN will honor longtime Guardian Investigative Editor David Leigh with a Lifetime Achievement Award.
For the awards night at the Theatro Municipal, you will need a bracelet. Abraji will distribute bracelets the day of the event -- at the PUC, in the shuttle buses to the Theatro, and in the Theatro.
