Climate Journalism

A Bosnian farmer struggling with a lack of water. A Georgian village dweller devastated by a landslide. A Yerevan town official trying to create cool islands in a broiling city center. The complex tale of climate change needs to be told in true-to-life stories. By networking climate journalists from all over Europe, we facilitate reporting that adds often omitted perspectives from Eastern Europe to create the whole picture. In our projects we train participants to analyse policies and figures. We bring them together with experts and peers. And we fund collaborative or even crossborder publications.

More focus areas

We are always reacting to current issues but there are also some topics which have been recurrent themes in our work. Here are a few.

Journalism in Ukraine

Journalists in Ukraine face many challenges exacerbated by the war: safety risks, source validation, financial hurdles, and access. We support them with resources, platforms for knowledge transfer, and strong international networks.

Networking Journalism

Amid growing political and economic pressures, journalists face multiple obstacles in showing us a complex world. Our media conferences, research trips and events provide spaces where we connect, share insights, and support each other.

Documentary Photography

Images convey the diverse realities of our societies with an emotional immediacy that words can’t match. We connect photographers across the continent to show a Europe beyond our information bubbles.

Foreign Reporting

The world fades away, when correspondents have to cover entire continents, and newsrooms lack the resources to report even on neighboring countries. Through our reporting we overcome biases and fill the blind spots on our mental maps.
Read more

Exile & Decolonisation

Deeply rooted power structures and authoritarian aggression fuel repression, conflict and forced migration. We create safe spaces allowing journalists in exile and elsewhere to reflect and deconstruct colonial narratives.
Read more

Feminism & LGBTIQ+

Gender and sexuality are weaponized in public discourse, distorting perceptions and deepening divides. We help journalists uncover authentic narratives and boost diverse voices in the media through a queer feminist lens.

European Public Spheres

National issues dominate the medias’ agenda. But Europe’s differences and perspectives can only be understood if we broaden the focus: We connect newsrooms and facilitate cooperation across the continent.

Investigative Journalism

In our interconnected world, investigative journalism has to transcend borders. We connect the dots on local issues that resonate globally and equip journalists with the skills to investigate and uncover cross-border stories.

(Dis)Information

Disinformation poisons public discourse and replaces democratic debate with polarization. With our journalistic formats we explore answers to this global challenge: sensitive to our own biases, but firm in our commitment to fact-based information and science.
