Journalists and civil society in conversation: A webinar series by Civic Journalism Coalition

04-06-2025
ECNL, EDRi and Lighthouse Reports are excited to launch a series of online sessions to facilitate collaboration and information sharing between journalists and civil society actors.

As part of the Civic Journalism Coalition, ECNL, EDRi, and Lighthouse Reports are excited to announce a series of online workshops for civil society and journalists, which aim to foster exchange, knowledge sharing and collaboration between these two groups.

Until the end of the year, together with civil society and media partners, we will host at least 5 online workshops on various topics, including:

  • Lessons learned from the spyware scandals;
  • Using EU platform regulations to investigate the practices of big tech companies and hold them accountable;
  • Best practices for collaboration between journalists, civil society and affected communities;
  • The impact and challenges of using journalistic evidence in strategic legal cases; and
  • Building impactful stories and communication around policy issues.

These workshops are open to participation to anyone from civil society or journalism interested in exploring how these two groups can work together, without the commitment to join the coalition.
