Dataharvest/EIJC June 2016 : investigative, data, cross-border, financial, surveillance and FOI journalism
Dataharvest/EIJC, the European Investigative Journalism Conference organised by Journalismfund.eu, is one of the most relevant networking events for investigative and data journalists in Europe. Dataharvest/EIJC 2016 takes place in Mechelen, Belgium, on Friday 3, Saturday 4 and Sunday morning 5 June 2016, with a pre-conference Hackaton on Thursday 2 June. #EIJC16
Investigative journalist Heidi Blake will keynote the conference. Blake is the UK investigations editor for BuzzFeed News and previously worked as an investigative reporter for the Daily Telegraph and the Sunday Times.
At the conference, Blake will, among other things, talk about the #TennisRacket scandal, BuzzFeed’s recent tennis match-fixing investigation, which she uncovered together with colleague John Templon. There will be related sessions on investigative sports reporting, too, such as the Journalismfund.eu-supported stories on fraudulent football agents in Nigeria and on European football clubs’ hiring of non-European minors.
The conference sessions will be grouped in tracks, such as cross-border collaboration, tax and financial investigations, FOI and wobbing, surveillance and security, and others.
