The Cost of Journalism
Journalism is not free, but what does it cost exactly? Next to our trainings, we also receive donations and grants, so we feel it’s only fair to be transparent about the cost of our investigations.
MYANMAR'S LAND GAME
For this story we went to the northern hills of Myanmar. In total we spent € 3279,31 (US$ 3,713.16).
CHINA'S IMPERATIVE ORGANICS
Pesticide deaths and food scarcity make organic food production a global issue. We looked at how the largest country on earth handles their troubled food past for € 2151,20 (US$ 2,440.45).
FIGHTING AN OBEDIENT DEMOCRACY
What happens when a military junta wants to stay in power in the first elections after a coup? We investigated the 2019 elections in Thailand spending € 2677,36 (US$ 3,032.95).
DISINFORMATION SOUTH KOREA
Minorities face discrimination through fake news stories in South Korea. We looked at the YouTube channels making money by spreading disinformation and spent € 4887,03 (US$ 5,569.06).

Donations
Last but not least, we want to thank you; our readers. Many of you have supported us by sending thank you emails and sharing experiences or information.
One other way you could support us is by donating. Last year, we decided to refrain from advertisement on the website, so we need your contribution to continue covering underreported stories.
