Global Investigative Journalism Network (GIJN) is actively seeking strong pitches from journalists, investigative reporters, and media practitioners worldwide. The publication commissions in-depth, practical journalism that strengthens investigative reporting across different regions and contexts.

GIJN is particularly interested in stories that share how investigative work gets done. This includes explainers on investigative methods, data journalism techniques, case studies of impactful investigations, profiles of innovative reporting projects, roundups of investigative tools, and practical guides that help reporters uncover corruption, power structures, hidden records, and complex financial or political systems.

All submissions must have international relevance and be written in English. For the right story, GIJN can assist with translation and editorial support.

Pitches should be concise but well thought out, demonstrating both subject-matter expertise and a clear benefit to investigative journalists globally.

What They’re Looking For:

• A clear working headline
• A sharp summary of the proposed story
• Who you plan to interview or reference
• Why you are uniquely positioned to write the piece
• Links to recent relevant work
• A short professional bio

GIJN reportedly pays around 20 cents per word, making this a solid opportunity for experienced journalists, investigative reporters, and data journalists seeking well-paying international writing jobs.
