Dataharvest 2024 - the European Investigative Journalism Conference

Many audiences don't care about the EU affairs. So how do you make them excited on the topics that are usually interesting only for the EU bubble? A collaboration between an EU-expert journalist and and a mainstream investigative reporter could be a good way to start. But it is not always easy and frictionless. Sometimes, these two categories of journalists don’t speak the same language, don’t have the same relation with sources, and usually they don’t adress the same audience.
In this panel, we will share some tips to help you make this type of collaborations smoothers, and more common in all Europe. We will talk about wording, local references, and different strategies; we will talk about difficulties and challenges in this work. And we will show you how an article written for the “EU bubble” and the "mainstream audience" can stay the same - and yet be so different!
