How the Journalism Value Project Maps and Outlines Europe’s Emerging Innovative Media Scene (German)

All over Europe small, independent media outlets are emerging. Countering the decline in traditional media, the rise of misinformation, they are still outnumbered, and face significant challenges to their survival. The Journalism Value Project aims to advance knowledge of and debate around Europe’s independent media. It has three strands: The Survey, documenting the status, The Loop, sharing of experiences, and The Proposal, pointing a way forward.

In this case study, the team behind the Journalism Value Project explains how their project takes a closer look at how independent media reclaims journalistic terrain that has (at least partly) been neglected by traditional media in the past.
