Deadline: August 8, 2019

Applications are open for the AIJC19 Fellowship for Journalism Students in SADC Region. The African Investigative Journalism Conference (#AIJC19) is the premier annual gathering of African investigative reporters – a three-day international conference for and about investigative journalism. It involves skills training, networking, promoting, updates on cutting edge tools, collaboration and in-depth accounts of major investigative stories. It is hosted by the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg.

This year’s conference will feature more than 50 speakers in workshops, panel discussions and networking sessions, as well as skills training in areas such as advanced data analysis and security. Key speakers include award-winning journalists from across the world, and Africa’s best. This is a chance to hear and meet those leading the field and enhance your skills with the latest tools and tips.

At AIJC2019 there will be opportunities to hear some of the best investigative journalists in Africa talking about their stories and sharing their skills. They have invited a number of international speakers, and they will provide courses in a range of skills important for all graduating journalists. Further, they will be running a student’s newsroom during the conference, where they will do online and social media coverage, and contribute to the conference edition of the campus newspaper, Vuvuzela, under the supervision of tutors.
