“Following the Money”, the second webinar in the series of online-workshops that the Media Development Centre organizes under the auspices of the project “Investigative Journalism for the Age of Information Disorder”, funded by EU, will be held on Friday, January 30, 2026, over the online conferencing platform “ZOOM”, starting at 15.00 hours.

The webinar will be held by Emilia Diaz-Struck, executive director of the Global Investigative Journalism Network and awarded investigative journalist. She has been a professor at the Central University of Venezuela and has taught summer seminars on data-journalism and investigative cross-border collaborations at Columbia University in New York. She has contributed to major global and Venezuelan media outlets, and has co-founded the Venezuelan news-site Armando.info.

The workshops are based on individual chapters of the “Verification Handbook for Investigative Journalism” and the “Guide: Introduction to Investigative Journalism” (published by the Global Investigative Journalism Network GIJN), which will soon be published in Macedonian and Albanian languages.

The webinars are intended primarily for journalists that do not specialize in investigative journalism and work in legacy, mainstream newsrooms that may need to apply some of the techniques of investigative journalism. They can also be useful to representatives of CSOs that work on their own investigations and face the need to verify their findings or use techniques of investigative journalism. The webinars can also help experienced investigative reporters, having in mind that the “Introduction to Investigative Journalism” covers the latest trends in conducting journalistic investigations, especially in the online domain.

The webinar will be conducted in English. Translation into Macedonian and Albanian languages shall be provided.
