Dataharvest 2024 - the European Investigative Journalism Conference

Cross-border journalists typically collaborate to hold power to account. But collaborative teams also exhibit power as they produce investigations across countries, continents and cultures. When power is breached, trust can be lost, ethics can be compromised and harm may occur. In this session, we explain the various types of power within cross-border investigative teams and discuss strategies for recognising, avoiding and correcting power imbalances. Attendees can expect a hands-on, practice-based session where they are encouraged to choose which power dynamics are prioritised, decide which strategies should be discussed further by the panellists, and participate in an open discussion.
