How to access the mysterious Swiss banking system? How to investigate the banking institutions, here in Switzerland? Conference organisers are working to create a varied platform, with first class panelists. Potential participants have also expressed the wish to take advantage of Switzerland being the headquarters of some of the largest international sports organisations and the IOC, to look into furthering contacts and means of research in investigating sports stories. This is going to be one of the focuses during the conference, especially as we will be just four months from the South Africa World Cup. We hope as well to take advantage of Geneva and its international organisations to provide new and original tools to investigate the UN world. 2010-04-22T15:55:00+00:00 http://www.ejc.net/events/sixth_investigative_journalism_conference/#When:15:55:00Z http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ejc/events_calendar/~3/q_16qrPVB34/ http://www.ejc.net/events/62nd_world_newspaper_congress/#When:16:01:00Z INDIA in all its colors and vibrancy - the vibrancy of India’s democratic polity in an election year.

Given the crucial importance of journalism as a social institution, journalism research has always exhibited a strong normative concern linking the field to the notion of public interest. The conference therefore intends to provide a venue for the theoretical, critical and empirical engagement with the social relevance and applicability of journalism research in both national and international contexts. A central goal of the conference is to address the question: what does the field of journalism research have to offer to issues of public interest and debate, and what are the key factors for a successful transfer of knowledge between journalism research and its social contexts?  2009-11-19T15:21:00+00:00 http://www.ejc.net/events/journalism_research_in_the_public_interest/#When:15:21:00Z http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ejc/events_calendar/~3/XrKdl_3OjW8/ http://www.ejc.net/events/european_development_days_2009/#When:12:05:00Z The European Development Days bring some 4000 people and 1500 organisations from the development community together on an equal footing.
