🚨 November 2 is International Day to #EndImpunity for Crimes against Journalists and #GIJC21 is joining with @UNESCO and others to mark the occasion with this panel and a full track of sessions on safety and security.

💡 The panel is starting shortly. Join us or follow here!
@UNESCO @laurentrichard0 @kavithalankesh @Jos_Bartman Attacks on journalists deprive many people of their right to information. Therefore, we must regard these attacks as attacks on democracy, says @Jos_Bartman, who investigates crimes against reporters with @freepressunltd.
In many countries, there is confusion about the role of journalists, says @laurentrichard0 of @FbdnStories. This makes it more dangerous to be a reporter. News organizations need to earn the trust of their audiences and show them they are working in the public interest.
📣 To help journalists investigating dangerous issues, including criminal finance, narcotics, arms trade, and more, GIJN released our brand new Reporter’s Guide to Investigating Organized Crime.

👇 Check out the guide with advice from veteran journalists.

The need to protect our sources, stories & ourselves has never been greater. GIJN worked together with experts at @FordFoundation to develop a new Journalist Security Assessment Tool (JSAT). @mtthnsn, @runasand & @geminiimatt launched the tool at #GIJC21: gijn.org/2021/11/02/gij…
"We have over-reliance and dependence on technology due to COVID-19, a lot of criminal hacking groups are taking advantage of that," @geminiimatt warns of the exceptional need for journalists to prioritize security. #GIJC21
"The best possible approach you can take is not to have assumptions. Try to really understand the work the other person is doing, what they do, and how they do it," @runasand on how to approach media organizations on setting up security protocols. #GIJC21

"In the western world, where criminals do money laundering & use banks, we don’t see the violence but we need to dig deep in these countries; show how they impact lives there & in the Global South," @OCCRP's @IDashboard on investigating money laundering: gijn.org/organized-crim….
