The Moravian-Silesian Region lacks independent investigative journalism for the proper functioning of local democracy. That is why we will establish a new independent media outlet "Okraj", an investigative and analytical regional editorial office that will not deal with daily news, but rather with the production of complex, contextual articles covering politics, environment, minorities, social issues and more.
With expertise in innovative formats like data journalism, OSINT or podcasts we will enrich our offerings for those who live in the Moravian-Silesian region and possess a genuine interest in their local surroundings and a strong desire to foster positive change within the region.
We are a collective of experienced journalists who have extensively covered regional concerns at a national scale over the years. With a common origin rooted in this locality, we collectively recognize the pronounced demand for high-calibre investigative and analytical journalism. This shared recognition has propelled us towards a shared objective: the establishment of a regional newsroom in the Moravian-Silesian region, which is one of the largest and most important regions in the country, it is an economic, political and industrial centre.
