I’m currently making my way back from the Global Investigative Journalism Conference, a gathering of over 1,000 people for more than three days of workshops, talks, and panels in Kuala Lumpur.
I attended a ton of sessions and have collected 29 digital investigative tips, tools, and techniques that can hopefully help you in your work. They include awesome tools for monitoring/investigating the natural environment, company/beneficial ownership search tips, tools for no-code web scraping, tracking ships, and researching planes, and options for gathering information and documents from inside China.
I also picked a selection of my favorite tipsheets from the event, including a great guide to about building your own AI agent. You can view the full conference tipsheet collection here, but note that there isn’t one for every session.
