Thank you @bellingcat @Skup @AIJC_Conference for the opportunity. The #AIJC2025 has enriched me a lot with new knowledge, new contacts, and the inspiration of the great investigative journalists. See you next year, with concrete results.
And that's a wrap! This is the most well-attended final-day photograph we've had in recent years, which speaks to #AIJC2025 as a whole. To all who travelled from near and far to join us, who made the 2025 edition so special, we sincerely thank you. See you at #AIJC2026!

Before you begin any interview, Kath Magrobi says, ask yourself why this person agreed to talk to you. It’s the first step to seeing the power dynamics beneath the surface. #AIJC2025 #QuoteThisWoman+ #MediaEthics
