As a pilot programme under OCRI, the CIJ is partnered with the Center for Data Journalism Nepal (CDJN) to teach OSINT and deep data dive tools and techniques to Nepali journalists in order to produce investigative pieces (in web-based multimedia formats) on the environment and climate change.
From May 16 to 19, journalists participated in a residential workshop in Nepal. Following the training workshop and towards the end of the programme, we organised a session for attendees to pitch their story ideas. Based on the strength of the pitches, the best refined pitches were selected and commissioned to be realised as investigative stories over the next few weeks, with the guidance of subject matter experts and mentors/editors.
