🎙️“I truly believe that this model of collaborative journalism is one of the biggest avenues, not only in terms of impact, but in terms of how journalism can survive.” @laurentrichard0 - Founder of Forbidden Stories at #IJF26 🗞️🇮🇹

Hello from Perugia 👋🇮🇹 Muwatin is at #IJF26 — the International Journalism Festival's 20th edition in Perugia, Italy. | @journalismfest We're here to engage with the people and ideas shaping journalism's future. Representing Muwatin this year: • Dr. Mohammed Al-Fazari | @mkalfazari (CEO & Editor-in-Chief) • Diana Khanafer (Director of Strategy) Perugia brings together journalists and media organizations from across the world for the kind of frank, substantive conversations that matter. For us, as an independent Arabic-language investigative platform, it's a chance to build real partnerships and put our regional experience in dialogue with newsrooms navigating similar pressures elsewhere.

Now | We are seeing very little accountability. This means more targeting of journalists - Jodie Ginsberg @jodieginsberg @pressfreedom #IJF26 @journalismfest

Calabresi a #ijf26: "A volte le spiegazioni banali sono rivoluzionarie: stiamo riscoprendo un modo di fare, non inventando". #explanatory
