Collaborative Journalism Europe in a Global Context
Investigative journalism is one of the pillars of democracy today. By arming people with facts and paving the way for a free flow of information, we promote a culture of transparency and accountability across Europe that will enable citizens to strengthen democratic institutions and democracy itself. In a time of populism, fake news and the rise of extremist politics, these efforts are needed more than ever. The Collaborative Journalism Europe in a Global Context project is based on the proposition that investigative reporting through collaboration can take better advantage of technology. CJEGC will promote cutting-edge digital tools for data use and professional collaboration. Led by the ICIJ with partners from the Baltic region, South-East Europe and Western Balkans, CJEGC is covering different perspectives and regions in Europe that do not cooperate regularly. In this collaboration, ICIJ and its partners will foster a peer-to-peer network of trust. CJEGC is co-funded by the European Union.
