Join us at our conference, participate in a workshop for digital
self-defence, network with practitioners and politicians, and
learn about the impressive investigations of the IJ4EU grantees.
We will 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.<br>
<br>
Two years ago, the European Parliament initiated a special fund to
be spent exclusively on cross-border investigative journalism, the
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.investigativejournalismforeu.net/">#IJ4EU</a>.
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.<br>
<br>
The UNCOVERED Conference will give a stage to grantees to present
the results of their work. Topics vary from investigations into
the murder of Maltese journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, the
misuse of EU funds in Romania and Bulgaria, and the disappearance
of 10,000 migrant children in the so-called migrant crisis – to
name but a few.<br>
<br>
The event takes place under the patronage of the Governing Mayor
of Berlin, Mr Michael Müller, with support of the European
Commission, the City of Berlin and the Politiken Foundation.<br>
</p>
<p>The conference language will be English.<br>
