Investigative Journalism Summer School is an annual three day event which has become a meeting place for professionals looking to upscale their skills, be inspired and refreshed. Over the course of three days, industry leaders share their trade secrets, the newest tools that make investigations and international cooperation much more effective and powerful.
We all know that they are out there – the bad guys. At the Summer School you will get the skills on how to identify them, how to find them, how to prove their scams, how to interview them, how to make it understandable for your audience making television and writing stories. An also how to keep your sources – and yourself – safe.
