IRE and NICAR participated at the third Global Investigative Journalism Conference Sept. 29-Oct. 2 in Amsterdam. Top international journalists led debates, workshops, and discussions of case studies on topics affecting global investigative journalism. David Boardman, president of IRE's board of directors, and Brant Houston, executive director of IRE and NICAR, as well as other IRE members, participated.
The VVOJ, the Dutch-Flemish Organization for Investigative Journalists, organized the event. More than 25 computer-assisted sessions were on the schedule, with topics ranging from "Life Beyond Google" to "Social Network Analysis" to three sessions covering "Mapping the News."
