Journalismfund strengthens democracy across Europe
by facilitating independent cross-border investigative journalism.

Journalismfund Europe vzw is a Brussels-based independent non‐profit intermediary incorporated by citizens in 1998, dedicated to strenghtening democracy across Europe by advancing independent cross-border investigative journalism. Journalismfund Europe is an intermediary and firewall between donors and journalists. This intermediary role is essential to enable donors to finance investigative journalism without affecting the credibility and independence of the journalists or media.

🔎 🤝Cross-border investigations help to create accountability on a systemic level, addressing how issues and potential solutions echo beyond national boundaries. This reporting practice reinforces the watchdog function of media ecosystems.

Around the world, some investigations we funded have generated a significant level of impact, from legislative changes, to resignations and governmental responses.

🚨 Most farmed animals never make the news. Chickens that never see daylight. Salmon crammed into underwater cages. Pigs that live and die without a single headline. Journalismfund Europe wants to change that.

📰 We are launching The Invisible Life, a new cross-border investigative grant programme shining a light on farmed animal welfare across Europe.

Application is now open to cross-border teams of professional journalists and/or news outlets from at least two countries.

🚨🌳 Overriding Private Interests Or Protecting Biodiversity?

📰 In Southern Italy, Porsche sought to clear 200 hectares of protected forest to expand its test track — invoking EU rules meant to safeguard human health and public safety. The catch? The project was overwhelmingly private.

The Bosco d'Arneo, a Natura 2000 site in one of the Mediterranean's most desertification-hit regions, narrowly avoided destruction. Local authorities suspended the controversial ruling after the European Commission stepped in — but the agreement was never formally cancelled.

This is what happens when the language of the common good is stretched to serve corporate interests — and why communities on the ground matter. 🇪🇺🌿

🌍 A cross-border journalistic investigation tracing the relocation of a scandal-hit Italian PFAS factory to India triggered protests, political backlash and national debate.

‼️ The investigation by Liva, Anna Violato, Marta Frigerio, Filippo Tommasoli and Thomas Goorden revealed how machinery from the former Miteni plant — linked to one of Europe’s worst PFAS contamination scandals — was dismantled, shipped and rebuilt in Maharashtra.

👿 Following the revelations, Indian lawmakers raised questions in parliament about the country’s lack of PFAS regulation. Public pressure grew as activists and residents demanded environmental testing and stronger safeguards against “forever chemicals”.

☠️ "This pollution-related controversy has exposed major concerns over the transfer from Europe to India of industrial equipment linked to pollution, and over the lack of Pfas regulations in the country,” the MP Pramod Tiwari said.

👀 India currently has no specific PFAS regulation, but the controversy has intensified calls for new oversight and possible future rules. The story also reignited a wider debate about the relocation of hazardous industries from Europe to countries with weaker environmental protections.
