ARIJ 17th Annual Forum

ARIJ 17th Annual Forum offers empowerment, networking and innovation to investigative journalists and fact checkers in the Arab World.

ARIJ Forum is a chance to explore new directions, tackle the current challenges, share knowledge and network with leaders of Arab and global investigative journalism movements. It is an annual event to boost reporting skills, learn new tools, and get acquainted with the latest trends in reporting and fact-checking. It is also an opportunity to network with TV broadcasters, technology companies, media organisations, fact-checking units and universities from all around the globe.

About the 17th Annual ARIJ Forum Theme "Journalism Unbound"

At a time when the use of technology and artificial intelligence to restrict digital discourse and direct public opinion has escalated, and in an era where war in our region has taken a turn that overlooks the protection of journalists and civilians’ lives, especially after the war in Gaza, in addition to other constraints that result from climate change and social issues, constraints have become part of our daily lives. Investigative journalism and fact checking groans under a barrage of obstacles in order to achieve its goal of accountability, justice, and democracy.

For that, we have chosen “Journalism Unbound” to be the theme of the ARIJ 17th annual forum, which will be held in Amman, 6-8 December, 2024.
