BRIJ: Bridging Investigative Journalism. A global perspective to uphold essential principles of a sustainable democracy
In a world where democracy is being threatened by the accelerated loss of local journalism, it is not uncommon for communities to be left with fake news and polarizing biases. The need for journalists who can understand global challenges and extrapolate these into local contexts is now more relevant than ever. The University of Bergen (UiB), the American University (AU), and the Nordic Press Center in Washington (NPC) have partnered up to tackle these challenges through the BRIJ project.
