Welcome to #GIJC21! We start with greetings from your co-hosts GIJN and JNI, some quick announcements and thank yous, and a look ahead to #GIJC22 in Sydney. Then we move on to our plenary session, featuring five extraordinary journalists: Sheila Coronel, Vinod Jose, Dapo Olorunyomi, Edwy Plenel, and Maria Teresa Ronderos.
