“From the Panama Papers to the Epstein Files, large troves of data — whether leaked documents, legal records, or financial databases — have reshaped investigative journalism over the past two decades. Investigative journalists today face an overwhelming proliferation of data, growing authentication challenges fueled by AI-generated forgeries, and mounting pressure on source protection. At the same time, new technologies are revolutionizing how journalists can download, index, and analyze massive datasets to uncover stories of global significance.

“This GIJN webinar brings together leading experts in investigative journalism to share hands-on strategies for securely managing leaks and navigating this rapidly evolving landscape. Experts will walk through the full life cycle of an investigation built on large data, from initial assessment and secure data management to corroboration, collaboration, and what to do with the data after publication.”
