Next-Level Data and Tools for Investigative Journalism (Next-IJ)

Next-Level Data and Tools for Investigative Journalism (Next-IJ) is an initiative designed to offer new, innovative training solutions for investigative reporting by equipping journalists with cutting-edge tools, advanced data analysis capabilities, and enhanced cross-border collaboration networks.

Next-IJ is empowering European journalists, newsrooms, and media outlets with a combination of advanced tools (including artificial intelligence), data, training, legal and ethical guidance, and hands-on investigation opportunities to uncover and investigate corruption and organised and financial crime in multilateral cooperation and partnerships. It is also collaborating to ensure that cross-border investigative journalism cooperation between news organisations of all stripes gains and maintains a technological and skills-related edge over the perpetrators of the various facets of organised crime in the ever-more complex, sophisticated, and virtually borderless digital environment.
