Submit Your Investigative Pitch to ARIJ

Are you working on an investigation with the power to change lives? Do you have evidence of hidden truths that need to be brought to light?

ARIJ invites you to introduce us to your story idea.


Our Commitment to Your Work

We collaborate with journalists across all mediums: print, audio, video, and digital, to produce high-impact journalism. We support our partners throughout every stage of the process, from initial research and editorial coaching to final publication and distribution.

We believe that investigative journalism, anchored by rigorous fact-checking and in-depth research, is the cornerstone of transparency, accountability, and a healthy democracy.


Before You Submit Your Pitch

Please note the following requirements for your submission:

  • Substance Over Generality: ARIJ does not support proposals that are vague or based on broad generalities.
  • Originality: We do not support projects that are simply a collection of previously published research or reports; your pitch must demonstrate original inquiry, new findings, and clear potential for public impact.


The Selection Process

  1. Confirmation: You will receive an automatic email confirming that we have received your submission.
  2. Review: Our Executive Committee will review your proposal.
  3. Timeline: You can expect a response regarding the preliminary acceptance or rejection of your proposal within three weeks.
