While there are lots of trainings online on advanced researching techniques, at the Global Investigative Journalism Network (GIJN) and iMEdD’s training pillar, Ideas Zone we recognized a significant need for basic investigative journalism skills.
As a result, we put together this guide and recruited some of the top investigative journalists from around the world to write it.
The chapters are by: Jelena Cosic (ICIJ), Wahyu Dhyatmika (Tempo), Emilia Díaz-Struck (GIJN), Mariam Elba (ProPublica), Will Fitzgibbon (The Examination), Brant Houston (University of Illinois), Karol Ilagan (University of the Philippines), Purity Mukami (OCCRP), Miranda Patrucic (OCCRP), Runa Sandvik (Granitt), Hamadou Tidiane Sy (Ouestaf News), Shereen Youssef (BBC Verify), Marina Walker Guevara (Pulitzer Center), and Margot Williams (The Intercept).
This guide was created as part of the program “Introduction to Investigative Journalism,” which was implemented by GIJN and iMEdD’s Ideas Zone Pillar in 2024, and wouldn’t have been possible without the help and support of GIJN and iMEdD staff.

Resource Center Director: Nikolia Apostolou; Executive Director: Emilia Díaz-Struck; Regional Editors and Associate Editors: Aïssatou Fofana, Maxime Domegni, Benon Oluka, additional assistance: Leonardo Peralta, Illustrations: Smaranda Tolosano
