Give media stories! Practical examples: how to present a project as a story
"The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly – Reporting Europe in Times of Crisis" was the highlight of our Tandem collaboration was a packed panel discussion that we hosted at the New York Times Athens Democracy Forum about the transformation of media in Europe. Our speakers included a Pulitzer Prize winner and the BBC Europe bureau chief among others. Being journalists with Greek and German origins, we both witnessed the rise of populism and broader proliferation of stereotypes in national media. Headlines such as „Lazy Greeks“ or „Hitler Merkel“ unfortunately aren’t isolated cases anymore.
How can we improve European news coverage? How does cross-border collaboration lead to better reporting and which role does social media and news digitalization play in the process? All of these questions were discussed among the panelists and together with the audience of around 200 young journalists and interested locals, who joined our event on September 13th at the Impact Hub in Athens.
We will present a short video with a summary of the key findings and arguments exchanged during the panel discussion. The public screening will be followed by two hands-on workshops focussing on storytelling and Mobile Reporting.
