Collaboration between journalists from various media and from different countries has become increasingly important, especially in investigative journalism. Research topics have become more complex over the past few years, and cooperation can bring together human and financial resources both at national and international levels. In recent years, cross-border journalism projects in particular have attracted much attention. Despite different languages ​​and journalistic cultures, journalists from different countries have succeeded in collaborativly researching complex topics, uncovering grievances and at the same time addressing regional, national and international target groups. The Panama Papers of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) is one of the best-known examples of collaborative journalism - but there are many other less well-known networks and forms that are highlighted and discussed in the seminar.
In the seminar, students acquire knowledge about the different varieties of collaborative journalism, and how to organize and manage joint journalism projects. They learn how to work in teams - one of the prerequisites for collaborative journalism - and what is important in intercultural communication - one of the requirements for cross-border journalism. They apply their acquired knowledge by investigating a topic together with students from Portugal, Romania and Hungary.
The knowledge is conveyed though e-learning materials and in classroom sessions.
The seminar is part of the EU-funded project "New Skills for the Next Generation of Journalists", in which, in addition to the Erich Brost Institute for International Journalism, universities from Lisbon (Portugal), Bucharest (Romania) and Pécs ( Hungary) participate.
In summer semester 2020, a joint journalistic workshop will be held in Lisbon, in which four participants of the seminar "Collaborative Journalism" can take part.
