Global Investigative Journalism Network

The Global Investigative Journalism Network (GIJN) is "an international association of nonprofit organizations that support, promote and produce investigative journalism."[1][2][3][4] Its membership is open to "nonprofits, NGOs, and educational organizations" that are active in investigative reporting and data journalism.[5] As of March 2018, GIJN had 177 member organizations in 76 countries.[6]

The organisation’s projects include a help desk to provide investigative journalists with advice and assistance, a resource center with tips, tools, and manuals, and large training conferences that have attracted over 5,000 journalists from 100 countries.[7]

History

GIJN was formed in 2003 as a loose network in support of the biennial Global Investigative Journalism Conference (GIJC), which had been launched two years earlier by veteran journalists Brant Houston and Nils Mulvad.[8][9] The GIJN secretariat was officially formed after participants of the 7th GIJC in Kiev voted for the formation of a provisional secretariat in 2013.[10][11] The organization registered as a nonprofit corporation in Maryland, United States of America in 2014 and was approved as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service in October 2014.[1][10][6][12][13]

Members

Member organizations include the Center for Investigative Reporting, Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE), International Consortium of Investigative Journalism (ICIJ),[14] Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP),[15] Arab Reporters for Investigative Journalism (ARIJ),[16] Brazilian Association of Investigative Journalism,[17] Investigative Journalism Programme at Wits University,[18] Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism and ProPublica,[19][2], Interlink Academy for International Dialog and Journalism [20].

Global Investigative Journalism Conference (GIJC)

GIJN co-organizes a biennial Global Investigative Journalism Conference (GIJC), to bring together investigative journalists across the globe to share their knowledge and expertise with each other and to form cross-border networks for collaborative reporting and referrals.[21][4]

The GIJC has been held in Copenhagen in 2001 and 2003,[8][22] Amsterdam (2005),[23] Toronto (2007),[24] Lillehammer (2008),[25] Geneva (2010),[26] Kiev (2011),[27] Rio de Janeiro (2013),[28], Lillehammer (2015)[29], and Johannesburg (2017)[30]. The latest conference was held in Hamburg, Germany in 2019.[31]

Since 2014, GIJN has organized investigative journalism conferences in Asia. The first Asian Investigative Journalism Conference was in Manila (2014), the second in Kathmandu (2016), and the third in Seoul (2018).[32][33][34]

Global Shining Light Award

GIJN gives out Global Shining Light Awards for excellence in investigative reporting "in a developing or transitioning country, done under threat, duress, or in the direst of conditions".[35][36]

The awards are presented to recipients in an awards ceremony held every two years at its biennial GIJC events. Past recipients include the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP),[37][38] Khadija Ismayilova from Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty,[36] and Sonali Samarasinghe from The Sunday Leader.[39]

gollark: What if you implement Go in Go?

gollark: Go(lang) = bad.
gollark: ``` [...] MIPS is short for Millions of Instructions Per Second. It is a measure for the computation speed of a processor. Like most such measures, it is more often abused than used properly (it is very difficult to justly compare MIPS for different kinds of computers). BogoMips are Linus's own invention. The linux kernel version 0.99.11 (dated 11 July 1993) needed a timing loop (the time is too short and/or needs to be too exact for a non-busy-loop method of waiting), which must be calibrated to the processor speed of the machine. Hence, the kernel measures at boot time how fast a certain kind of busy loop runs on a computer. "Bogo" comes from "bogus", i.e, something which is a fake. Hence, the BogoMips value gives some indication of the processor speed, but it is way too unscientific to be called anything but BogoMips. The reasons (there are two) it is printed during boot-up is that a) it is slightly useful for debugging and for checking that the computer[’]s caches and turbo button work, and b) Linus loves to chuckle when he sees confused people on the news. [...]```I was wondering what BogoMIPS was, and wikipedia had this.
