ICIJ is unlike any other media organization in the world. We work with leading news organizations worldwide to investigate and publish/broadcast in-depth, cross-border investigations.
The need for ICIJ has never been greater. The world is losing investigative eyes and ears precisely when we need them most. “We want to bring accountability on a global scale by bringing journalists together to safeguard the truth, and each other,” said our director, Gerard Ryle.
Meanwhile, in many developing countries, investigative reporters are killed, threatened, or imprisoned with alarming regularity. These journalists are in dire need of support from their ICIJ colleagues abroad.
We support journalists around the globe with the latest reporting tools and techniques, and bring them news on awards, fellowships, and journalists under fire.
ICIJ is also fully funded by donations, big and small, which help kelp this new breed of journalism afloat.
ICIJ is always open to new story ideas, as well as outstanding investigative journalists interested in collaborating with us. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with your ideas. Write to: contact (at) icij.org.
