Celebrate the Truth Tellers
Truth Tellers, the Sir Harry Evans Investigative Journalism Summit, is co-hosted by editor and author Tina Brown CBE, Reuters editor-in-chief Alessandra Galloni, and Durham University vice chancellor Karen O’Brien. The 2026 summit will take place in London on 6 May, from 9.30am-6.30pm.
The summit brings together the world’s most dogged and diverse truth-seekers, both seasoned and innovative: unsung reporters who risk their lives and reputations, intrepid war photographers, digital data sleuths, relentless documentarians, and enterprising investigators in podcasting, publishing, TV, and streaming media. What they share is a moral commitment to the truth – not the sanctioned story, the acceptable version or the cosmetic spin – but the unvarnished account of what really happened.
The summit includes a full day of programming followed by a closing dinner. The invitation-only audience is made up of 400 editors, reporters, broadcasters, media leaders, and cultural and political influencers. They will leave the event inspired by the next generation of fearless investigators and enlightened by their new methods, tools, and storytelling innovations.
“I actually think investigative reporting – when it’s right, when it’s true, when it has impact – will help to restore our reputation.” - Dean Baquet - Editor, Local Investigative Fellowship, and former Executive Editor, The New York Times
The purpose of the summit is to deepen the global networks that support fearless inquiry, celebrate the industry’s great practitioners and new trailblazers, and, above all, remind the world why serious journalism is indispensable.
