Collaboration instead of Competition

How can we improve European news coverage? How does cross-border collaboration lead to better reporting and which role does social media and news digitalization play in the process? All of these questions were discussed among the panelists and together with the audience of around 200 young journalists and interested locals, who joined our event on September 13th at the Impact Hub in Athens. Tabea Grzeszyk, founder Hostwriter.org and Elina Makri, founder Oikomedia.com, present a short video with a summary of the key findings and arguments exchanged during the panel discussion. The public screening will be followed by two hands-on workshops focussing on storytelling and Mobile Reporting.
