      Investigative stories are becoming increasingly cross-border, and Asia is fertile ground for deep dives. Dealing with a lack of public records and facing authoritarian governments in countries across our region, we must #rethink how we approach investigative reporting. Data is a crucial element in investigative journalism, but accessing and processing data particularly in developing countries remains a challenge. This workshop will delve into available public records, teach how to access them and share best practices in working with sources while protecting them amid risky environments. NO PRE-REGISTRATION.
