European Journalism Center’s objective is to support and empower 12 journalists or small teams of journalists to create and disseminate impactful stories, through a Solutions Journalism approach. They will provide new insights, shed light on underreported topics, focus on the Global South and explore global development issues.

The EJC understand the significant role that journalism plays in informing people about big societal topics and challenges and we have recognised that solutions-focused and community-focused approaches to such journalism are not only beneficial for journalists and media organisations but also for more impactful reporting outcomes.
