Arab Reporters for Investigative Journalism (ARIJ) provides journalists in the MENA region with a supportive, connected, and collaborative ecosystem that empowers, enlightens, and gives reporters state-of-the-art training, coaching, and networking. Founded in 2005, ARIJ has helped journalists adapt to changing technology, and audience engagement, in a constantly shifting political journalism landscape – in a challenging environment of press freedom and access to information. ARIJ has also expanded to incubate a community of Arab fact-checkers and the tools to support the protection of whistleblowers in the region. https://arij.net/investigations/shabooka-en/
