Fundación Ciudadana Civio is the first organisation in Spain to specialise in monitoring public authorities. Civio demands transparent governments and institutions, and informed citizens. And it does this through journalism, advocacy and technology.

Civio's mission is to achieve true transparency in public affairs and provide the whole of society with the information it needs to demand transparency, responsibility and efficiency from administrations. To better defend their rights and interests. And to act accordingly.

The BOE Hub: Claiming Our Reach Back

  • Innovation
  • Journalism & Media

MADRID - The project aims to update Spain’s Official Gazette (BOE) from social media to a live hub on Civio’s website. As the media outlet's one of the best-known examples of public service journalism, these updates will no longer rely solely on social algorithms to reach readers - the project will allow the media outlet to draw attention to their homepage and foster a more direct relationship with their audience.
