ICFJ, con el apoyo de la Embajada de los Estados Unidos en Panamá, colaborará con nuestra red de periodistas investigativos panameños, educadores de medios y socios para implementar una iniciativa de 18 meses que tiene como objetivo mejorar y aumentar la cobertura del gasto público y la gobernanza mediante la capacitación de periodistas en periodismo de datos e investigación.

ICFJ, with support from the US Embassy in Panama, will collaborate with our network of Panamanian investigative journalists, media educators and partners to implement an 18-month initiative that will aim to improve and increase coverage of government spending and governance by training journalists on data and investigative journalism. ICFJ will employ our tested “funnel approach” to programming, which starts with scale and width by engaging a large number of journalists, and then emphasizes depth via targeted and competitive training.

Journalists in the global network of the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) are invited to apply for the Hans Staiger Investigative Reporting Award to pursue an investigative project of their choosing. Applicants should submit a project idea that seeks to uncover hidden truths, expose wrongdoing, and reveal information that holds the powerful to account.

The Road Safety Reporting Competition and Awards aims to help journalists produce stories that shine a light on road crash deaths and injuries in some of the hardest-hit countries.

Over the years, journalists have improved their investigative reporting skills through the Douglas Tweedale Memorial Fellowship. Some participants have focused on immigration, environment, science and technology or business reporting skills.

For the 2023 fellowship, ICFJ is pleased to continue the legacy of the program by offering training and support to Latin American journalists, focused on fact-checking and best practices for fighting disinformation. The fellowship will allow journalists in the region to enhance their skills and gain practical knowledge to apply within their own newsrooms. 

O ICFJ, em parceria com a Meta e diferentes associações de mídia brasileiras, lança o programa Acelerando Negócios Digitais, que visa contribuir com a melhoria nos modelos de negócios e a sustentabilidade financeira de organizações de mídia no Brasil.
