Rundt om i verden finnes det over 80 organisasjoner og stiftelser dedikert til den undersøkende journalistikken. Sammen danner de et unikt nettverk som kan hjelpe deg med å slå hull på den virkelig store saken. Direktøren for det globale nettverket GIJN, Dave Kaplan, forteller hvordan nettverket kan brukes i det daglige arbeidet og viser eksempler på saker som har gått fra lokalt småstoff til internasjonale avsløringer. I tillegg gir han en smakebit på hva som venter når 1.000 gravejournalister møtes til konferanse i Rio de Janeiro i oktober. Eric Karstens fra European Journalism Centre i Maastricht i Nederland presenterer et nytt fond for gravejournalistikk, finansisert av Melinda og Bill Gates Foundation. Dette fondet er åpent for søknader fra norske journalister til innovative prosjekter som fokuserer på utviklingsspørsmål. (Seminaret går på engelsk)
