The European Investigative Journalism and Dataharvest Conference organised by Journalismfund.eu, is the most relevant networking event for investigative and data journalists in Europe.

Well-prepared requests for information can be a very sharp tool when fighting to get a particular documentation or piece of information. Peter Verhaeghe gives an introduction into tactical wobbing and considerations such as which law is the strongest for my topic, which authority is most likely to hold and which authority is most likely to release the information, which information to request first and which information not to request or only request later?
Peter Verhaeghe is vice-chair of StRaten-generaal, an activistic citizen organisation (in Antwerp, Belgium) to foster and improve the quality of life. Peter is the FOIA specialist.
