Join the conference, participate in a workshop for digital self-defence, network with practitioners and politicians, and learn about the investigations of the IJ4EU grantees.
Find out why investigative journalism is in everyone's interest. They will also discuss the political conditions for investigative journalism which is crucial for media freedom and democracy itself. How to create an enabling environment for this kind of reporting in a climate where economic needs and political interference are the new normal.
Two years ago, the European Parliament initiated a special fund to be spent exclusively on cross-border investigative journalism, the #IJ4EU. The grants from this fund, launched by the ECPMF and managed by International Press Institute (IPI), were awarded to twelve transnational teams from across Europe. The UNCOVERED conference will give a stage to grantees to present the results of their work. Topics vary from continuing the work of murdered Maltese journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, to the misuse of EU funds in Romania and Bulgaria, and the disappearance of 10,000 migrant children in Europe – to name but a few.
The event takes place under the patronage of the Governing Mayor of Berlin, Mr Michael Müller.
