The Journalists Against Corruption (JAC), a four-month old network of editors and reporters covering southeast Asia, held its first in-person training on “Investigating Corruption” in Bangkok from July 15-16.

The training workshop focused on the operations of online scams, an increasingly alarming threat in the region.

JAC was spearheaded by the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism (PCIJ), in partnership with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).
