Danwatch is an award-winning Danish independent media and research centre specialising in investigative journalism on global issues. We investigate the impact of states and corporations on human rights and the environment, and hold power to account in the public interest.
Through in-depth journalistic investigation, we tackle structural problems and uncover the truth behind them, with no corporate or political agenda. Our subjects are often highly complex, spanning many different countries and sectors, but through fact-based, unbiased reporting we expose systemic injustice, counter misinformation and inspire change.
Our investigations focus on serious issues affecting our society and can last many months, with very thorough desk research combined with fieldwork in several countries. We often work with local journalists in cross-border collaborations and have built up a very strong network of investigative journalists, local media, civil society organisations, contacts and whistleblowers in several countries.
We work nationally and internationally with major mainstream media and broadcasters (including DR, Politiken, TV2, The Guardian, Aljazeera), which ensures that our journalism reaches as many people as possible. And our investigations have appeared in major newspapers, broadcasters and news outlets around the world. We believe that independent journalism is a vital part of any democracy. Our journalism helps the public better understand our world, gives a voice to the voiceless and holds powerful states, investors and corporations to account.
Our journalistic investigations have led to political inquiries and hearings at home and abroad, and have influenced policy changes at some of the biggest multinational companies.
We tell the stories that matter.
Interim Editor-in-chief, Thomas Gösta Svensson, together with director and responsible editor-in-chief, Jesper Nymark, make up Danwatch’s editorial management.
