Journalism is the cornerstone of democracy. A well-informed society is a prerequisite for a functioning democracy. That’s why journalism is so important. Professonal journalists do investigative research and provide reliable content that reports various aspects. In a world where misinformation and fake news are rampant, the role of independent journalism has become more crucial than ever before. Independent journalists have the responsibility to report on the truth, provide unbiased analysis, and hold those in power accountable for their actions. Appropriate relationship management with journalists is essential for our daily work with media and our clients. #journalism #media #journalists #journalisten #investigativejournalism

Attacks on journalists – including murder – are at record highs. Journalism was not created for the messenger to be shot. While you can kill the journalist, you can’t kill the story, writes David Walmsley, Editor-in-Chief of The Globe and Mail, Canada and creator of World News Day.

Let me recommend this article where I talk about freedom of press and quality journalism. Thanks Journalift for being interested about my thoughts on the World Press Freedom Day!

This happened yesterday. "Pioneering British newspaperman Sir Harry Evans (1928-2020) was one of the giants of post-war journalism. The award-winning work he spearheaded as editor of The Northern Echo, The Sunday Times, and The Times set the gold standard for courageous investigative journalism. For Sir Harry, trust in journalism was essential and the debasement of fact-based reporting was a serious concern for functioning democracy. To reignite Sir Harry’s values, Truth Tellers champions the work of today’s investigative journalists." The conference, which is all online to view, was a fascinating insight into the work of some eminent broadcast and print professionals, some of whom, risk their lives in war zones. Some of whom, uncover injustices and communicate much deserved truth for victims. The work goes on and this conference shone a light on that. It was a compelling and fascinating watch. All rise the digital influencer - but long live investigative journalism. It's the only way we have to hold companies and individuals to account. The skill of journalists in uncovering truth, like dogs with bones - is something that we should support and champion - but most of all have an awareness of. Support your regional newspapers. It's where all journalists begin their careers and learn their craft. They are the essential channels for truth and accountability and very sadly we are losing these institutions but we must do all we can to protect the profession.

Collaboration helps keep independent journalism alive in Venezuela

In the past couple of days, Facebook has removed a few of my posts and discussions in journalism groups- mostly in the lines on how to cover events and conflict situations, specifically elections more inclusively. Most of these links and comments had a mention and explanation around why and how journalism should and can become more plurastic, inclusive, and complete - in the sense, how can we tell the whole story. Several of these posts and comments were linked to resources on the Solutions Journalism Network website and blog. Now the question is - Why is this argument on covering both sides of a story losing ground? (Stepping away from headline tendencies - it's not exactly losing ground; it's only that passionate, principled, seeking journalists have started questioning it! And that's so refreshing. I'm hoping for the losing ground part.) My thoughts - Because as we evolve as humans, we learn to acknowledge that there are more than two sides of the story/argument. As journalists, we must cover them all. This is the premise of Amanda Ripley's groundbreaking essay, which came after her very important book called High Conflict - both of which together founded this journalism framework called - Complicating The Narratives (CTN). Links in the comments. There's only a handful of professionals who work with and mentor journalists on CTN techniques, and i am one of them, accredited by the Solutions Journalism Network and trained personally by the best - Nina Fasciaux Julia Hotz, Amanda Ripley and Hélène Biandudi Hofer and team. #JustSaying If anyone is willing to know more about CTN. But first, even if you're not a journalist, read this very important piece below, and take a look at the essay linked in the comment too. Our communities, and our political systems, can only be as good as you are! Thanks Tina, for sharing this interview.
