Dataharvest 2024 - the European Investigative Journalism Conference

What are the biggest challenges for independent newsrooms today? Which business models and revenue streams work? Where is deep community engagement financially viable? And how can the sector be supported to become more sustainable? In this session we present the first public findings of the Journalism Value Survey, the most in-depth survey of the state of independent media in Europe to-date. This project is a collaboration between Netzwerk Recherche and Reference, a network of European independent public interest media. We aim to support independent media in Europe to become more sustainable through research and conversations, and pioneering collaborative knowledge exchange within Reference. Join us to learn about the state of the independent newsrooms, and get an insight into the state of European independent journalism today.
