One for your diaries: the @cijournalism's Logan Symposium returns to London’s Barbican on 30 October.
Under the theme Overreach, a day of vital conversations on press freedom, surveillance, AI and the threats facing investigative journalism.
Explore the programme: tcij.org/logan-symposium/ove…
I'm a little biased, but this is the best journalism conference on earth. No echo-chamber love-ins, zero fluff, just the best investigative journalists and their allies anywhere showing off their work and asking questions. tcij.org/logan-symposium/ove…
Excellent piece, and beautifully designed as you might expect, on the future of visual investigations/forensic journalism, featuring an interview with me too, for the estimable @CJR. Congrats Marisa Katz, @emgollie @jakecharlesrees. cjr.org/feature/the-future-o…

‘Scamming’ landlord libel claim thrown out as Lammy promises legislation on SLAPPs!
Our former fellow @Coramazov had a personal libel case against him.
The same High Court judge also brought an end to a wider libel claim brought against Kehoe, Mill Media founder Joshi Herrmann and Mill Media itself.

Has a Breakthrough Happened in the Agonizing Saga of Austin Tice?
By @JamesHarkin who has been following the Tice story closely from the beginning.
Hard to believe that Assad would order Tice's killing, when he was so valuable, but who knows.
