Dataharvest 2024 - the European Investigative Journalism Conference

Who is funding political parties? What influence do they get in return? Follow the Money has built the first-ever database - along with a user-friendly dashboard - containing all the available data on donations to the political parties of the EU-27 from 2019-23. The database also includes other sources of income for political parties (mainly state aid), allowing comparison of the ratio between public and private funding across countries. We hope this new database will give you an unique insight into political funders and their intent. A group of investigative journalists is now diving into the data. Join us for the session, and find out how you can also find stories in the data!
