My name is Tabea Grzeszyk, I’m a freelance radio journalists mainly working for the German National Radio „DLF Kultur“. I’m also a co-founder and CEO of <a href="http://Hostwriter.org" class="">Hostwriter.org</a>, an open network that helps journalists to easily collaborate across borders. Launched in May 2014, we are now connecting more than 4,500 accredited journalists in 150+ countries for cross-border collaboration and mutual support. We have received institutional funding by the Dutch Adessium Foundation since 2016 and our team won the Jury Prize at the Google Impact Challenge Germany in 2018.</div><div class=""><b class=""><br class=""></b></div><div class=""><b class="">Unbias the News. Why diversity matters for journalism</b></div><div class="">In September we released our first collaborative book project <i class="">„Unbias the News. Why diversity matters for journalism,</i>“ which brings over 30 journalists from all continents together to discuss issues of bias in journalism and how to address it. The illustrated anthology covers numerous topics, such as how journalism grants can disfavor local impact, the fight for internet access equality, ableism in the newsroom, confessions of a parachute journalist, how a lack of diversity increases polarization and much more. The result is a field guide to „unbiasing“ the newsroom and a launchpad for a new kind of journalism that looks more like the society it serves. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The book is available in English and German language at the CORRECTIV shop: </div><div class=""><a data-is-link="https://shop.correctiv.org/en/books/30/unbias-the-news-why-diversity-matters-for-journalism/" class="textEditor-link" href="https://shop.correctiv.org/en/books/30/unbias-the-news-why-diversity-matters-for-journalism/" rel="noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">https://shop.correctiv.org/en/books/30/unbias-the-news-why-diversity-matters-for-journalism/</a></div><div class=""><a data-is-link="https://shop.correctiv.org/buecher/29/unbias-the-news-warum-journalismus-vielfalt-braucht/" class="textEditor-link" href="https://shop.correctiv.org/buecher/29/unbias-the-news-warum-journalismus-vielfalt-braucht/" rel="noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">https://shop.correctiv.org/buecher/29/unbias-the-news-warum-journalismus-vielfalt-braucht/</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Please find attached more information on the project.
