A quieter kind of training

Galveris started with a simple observation from newsroom work in Nairobi: reporters were often taught how to write investigative pieces, but rarely how to prepare for the parts that come before the writing — the consent conversation, the folder of evidence, the decision about whether a story goes too far.

What began as informal sessions for a handful of colleagues grew into a structured programme, built around three areas that consistently seemed to matter most: how sources are treated, how material is kept, and how difficult calls get reviewed rather than made alone.

We are not a legal service and we do not claim to replace one. What we offer is practical, repeatable groundwork that a working reporter can actually use.
