"We are driven by the belief that citizens have the right to be better informed, that access to independently-sourced facts is not only essential for democracy but is also a fundamental human right. Transparency is at the center of everything we do".
In partnership with our Media Partner The Portugal News, we invited all our members to a very exciting Conversation with a Leader featuring Gerard Ryle, Executive Director of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) at the Auditorium of the Embassy in Lisbon on Thursday, October 3 from 9h30 to 11h!
Gerard Ryle is the Pulitzer Prize and Emmy-award-winning director of the ICIJ in Washington, DC. He led the worldwide teams of journalists who worked on the Offshore Leaks, Panama Papers, Paradise Papers, Implant Files, FinCEN Files, and Pandora Papers investigations - the six biggest cross-border collaborations in journalism history.
Starting as a reporter in rural Ireland, Gerard later made his name as an investigative reporter in Australia before joining as ICIJ’s first non-American director in September 2011. He is a book author and TED speaker, and he has won or shared in more than 90 major journalism awards from eight different countries. In 2021, the ICIJ was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
The topic of the conversation, "Why has investigative journalism never been so important and challenged?," included case studies and helpful insights, and was led by Filipe Garcia, journalist, Former Deputy Director of Diário de Notícias and, prior to that, Deputy Editor of Politics in Expresso.
The conversation lasted more than 1 hour and included a very engaging conversation with the audience. The event concluded with time for networking, as always.
