Thanks to the financial support of the IJ4EU fund, cross-border teams of investigative journalists in Europe are launching new stories on networks of climate change denialists and the use of European Parliament funding by far-right parties.
The IJ4EU (Investigative Journalism for the EU) fund was launched earlier this year to encourage investigations that cross European borders. In June, an independent jury led by Süddeutsche Zeitung Editor-in-Chief Wolfgang Krach awarded €315,000 to 12 projects. The fund is backed by the European Commission via the European Centre for Press and Media Freedom (ECPMF) and managed by IPI, a global network of editors, media executives and leading journalists for press freedom.
