Securing stable funding for investigative media is increasingly urgent given the instability of international grants. Building audiences willing to financially support accountability reporting offers a challenging but highly effective path to independence and sustainability.

That means people who arrive first will get seats. Be aware that some sessions are in relatively small rooms and they will fill up quickly.
