Portugal has 3 journalism platforms as part of @ReferenceEurope – Independent Media Circle. In a country with traditionally very low financial contributions from the state and civil society to journalism, how do these projects manage to work sustainably?

📣 Calling European journalists who produce public interest journalism:
Take part in the Journalism Value Survey, conducted by @nrecherche & @ReferenceEurope, the most in-depth survey on the state of independent public interest media in Europe. buff.ly/3GqKSqg

We stand in solidarity w/ our friends & colleagues at @reporters_gr and @EFSYNTAKTON ahead of next week's #SLAPP court hearing! A senior govt figure - and nephew of the PM - launched the lawsuit following their reporting on the Greek spyware scandal. Journalism is not a crime! ✊
🇬🇷 Another attempt to stifle the truth: the lawsuit against Greek media @EFSYNTAKTON & @reporters_gr seeks €550,000 in damages. We condemn this outrageous #SLAPP case and urge Grigoris Dimitriadis @grigoris_d, the nephew of the PM, to withdraw it.
