It is our strategy to build partnerships with organisations inside and outside of journalism in Greece and abroad as the challenges of journalism today go far beyond the capacity of the traditional reporter. We have already begun several official collaborations with technologists, lawyers, cross-border journalism networks, organizations that promote transparency and accountability in order to tackle ad hoc issues that have to do with our development and our goals.
Reporters United aims to produce and publish investigative journalism in Greece and internationally, when possible in partnerships with international media. Here’s a list of some of the news outlets we have worked with during 2020.
