#CIJBelfast 25 March 2022 The CIJ comes to Belfast as part of the Imagine Belfast Festival of Ideas and Politics. What to expect? We are offering hands-on workshops in advanced investigative skills and an introduction to finding company information.

It’s this time of year again, when no doubt you will have lots of time to spare and will use it to enhance your intellect by listening to cool journalism podcasts and reading books. We definitely will be doing that (what else is there to do?), so here is our list.

Three journalists from the US and Canada will speak about their experience of covering the protests provoked by the killing of George Floyd. Facing attacks by police and arrests, an avalanche of false information online, or dealing with the close relevance of a protest to one’s own experience and personal history, Andrea May Sahouri (Des Moines Register, Iowa), Craig Silverman (BuzzFeed News) and Montinique Monroe (photojournalist from Austin, Texas) will share their experience of covering the protests in the US.
