ARIJ 2nd conference for Arab investigative journalists

 

Don't miss ARIJ 2nd conference for Arab investigative journalists in Amman, Nov. 20-22, 2009!

Join brave Arab editors and journalists of the 21st century who are working with Arab Reporters for Investigative Journalism (ARIJ), to promote in-depth reporting across the region's newsrooms, cutting through political and legal impediments, as well as social and religious taboos.

The conference, organized by ARIJ for the second year in a raw, hosts a range of international and Arab speakers, and covers every angle of investigative journalism.

You will hear from international award-winning journalists and academics like Charles Lewis (USA), Tim Sebastian (UK), Mondli Makhanya (South Africa), Mark Hunter (France), Magdi Gallad and Yosri Fouda (Egypt), Ahmed Benchemsi (Morocco) and others hailing from 16 Arab countries.

Jordan's Raed Nesheiwat, US-trained information security expert, and his assistant, Mohammad Amereh, will train you on how to use Computer Assisted Reporting (CAR) tools, relying on special Arabic software adapted by ARIJ.

The conference will bring together international and professional practices in a strictly non-academic way, focused on the "how to do" and the "need to know", rather than the "nice to know".

During the conference, there will be up to 20 workshops, panels and a roundtable with Arab chief editors and media managers, all designed to push hardcore reporting forward and to ensure exchanges.
