In a luncheon presentation on January 16, 2008, David E. Kaplan, the author of CIMA’s newly published report Global Investigative Journalism: Strategies for Support, addressed the growth of investigative journalism centers worldwide and highlights opportunities for stakeholders to invest in more sustained programs that professionalize the news media and foster greater transparency in governance.

His presentation was followed by comments by three experts in the field of investigative journalism:

• Sheila Coronel, with the Stabile Center for Investigative Journalism at Columbia University;
• Charles Lewis of American University and The Fund for Independence in Journalism; and
• William Orme, with the Democratic Governance Group at the United Nations Development Programme.
