Arab Reporters for Investigative Journalism (ARIJ) is the leading non-profit organization dedicated to investigative journalism and fact-checking across the Arab World. Since 2005, we remain unwavering in our commitment to supporting investigative journalists and fact checkers who strive to expose the truth, hold those responsible accountable, and restore public trust in the media, despite the numerous threats and challenges in the region.
As a central hub for regional investigative journalism initiatives, we provide comprehensive training, resources, and collaborative opportunities for investigative journalists and fact-checkers in all Arab countries. By cultivating an empowered and connected ecosystem of investigative reporters, editors, and fact-checkers, we are driving positive change and ensuring that critical stories are brought to light, even in the face of political, legal, digital, mental and social challenges.
We are fueled by our firm belief in independent, accountable, and professional investigative journalism and fact-checking. Through our multifaceted efforts, we continue to champion the vital role of investigative reporting and fact-checking in promoting transparency and accountability across the Arab World, undeterred by the obstacles that may arise.
