Thank you for joining us in Nairobi for the African Investigative Journalism Conference 2026! 🌍
Our
@gijnAfrica team —
@benon_oluka, Africa Editor;
@MaxGni, Francophone Africa Editor;
@missfof225, Resource Centre Researcher; and
@akawamara, IT Professional — was there to meet you, listen, and share.
In one session, they talked about a troubling new form of censorship: copyright claims being used to take down journalists’ stories soon after they are published. We shared tips on how to spot and investigate these takedowns.
In another session, GIJN Africa editor talked about what
@gijn does, how to become a member, how we support our members, and what to expect from the Global Investigative Journalism Conference.
We also brought Francophone journalists together for an evening of networking and new connections.
We are heading home with new ideas, new friends, and a lot of inspiration. Thank you to everyone who joined us, asked questions, and shared their stories. See you next time!
