The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ)

The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) is a global network of investigative reporters who collaborate to uncover and expose issues like corruption, financial crimes, and abuse of power. By sharing resources and working together across countries, they conduct deep investigative journalism that individual outlets might find challenging alone. Their work often leads to major revelations that promote transparency and accountability in governments, corporations, and other powerful institutions. Founded in 1997 and based in Washington, D.C., the ICIJ plays a crucial role in fostering global journalism efforts aimed at exposing wrongdoing and informing the public.
