Díaz-Struck will join GIJN as editor-at-large in mid-August, and then become executive director in September
GIJN’s founding executive director, David Kaplan, announced last year his intention to retire in 2023. Kaplan has guided the dramatic expansion of GIJN in activities and staff for more than ten years.
“We are extremely pleased that Emilia Díaz-Struck will join GIJN as executive director,” Houston said. “Highly respected in the investigative journalism community, she brings a broad range of experience and skills; she’s been a reporter, a data editor, a co-founder of a local media organization, a journalism educator, and a manager at high-impact global investigative collaborations.
“Thanks to our extraordinary supporters around the globe, GIJN has never been stronger,” Kaplan noted. “At a time when watchdog media is under siege worldwide, we are in more languages, in more countries, and training more journalists with the latest tools and tech. What better time to pass the torch to a new generation of investigative journalists.
She also has led ICIJ’s data and research team, a multidisciplinary group that has mined millions of records, coordinated efforts with journalists to retrieve public data from dozens of jurisdictions using records requests, and produced datasets and resources for reporters around the world. Díaz-Struck also coordinated ICIJ’s partnerships in Latin America, helping expand the consortium’s network in the region.
