In a recent partnership announcement, LexisNexis has joined forces with the Global Investigative Journalism Network (GIJN). The partnership aims to equip journalists across the globe with resources needed to identify and expose threats to the rule of law. A report from LexisNexis sheds light on the unfolding collaboration.
The move builds upon the foundation of LexisNexis’ commitment to upholding and strengthening the rule of law, a tenet deeply rooted in its corporate philosophy. The international legal technology firm established the LexisNexis Rule of Law Foundation to further this commitment and the partnership with GIJN is a progressive step in that direction.
The Global Investigative Journalism Network promotes investigative reporting around the world by providing training, resources, and community support to journalists. The collaboration with LexisNexis now brings legal support to the table, providing investigative journalists with pertinent resources and tools that enable them to expose threats to justice and governance systems.
This partnership not only empowers investigative journalism but also embeds further the importance of maintaining and strengthening the rule of law in democracies across the globe. It resonates the message that journalists, equipped with solid legal knowledge, tools and support, are a potent force in safeguarding the democratic institutions.
