Europe explained, through data
Conferenza stampa di presentazione del progetto European Data Journalism Network (EDJNet)
The European Data Journalism Network (EDJNet) is a joint effort of 13 media outlets operating across Europe to produce, disseminate and facilitate the reuse of data-driven news content on European affairs across Europe and beyond.
EDJNet produces, distributes and disseminates data-driven stories through an innovative and cooperative approach, aiming at shading new light on European affairs. Each partner contributes with its specific expertise build a more in depth, comprehensive understanding of the way in which European affairs impact on the life of citizens and public policies.
EDJNet-branded content is freely accessible and reusable by newsrooms, individual journalist and the general public through its multilingual and open source website (available from 30 October), and on EDJNet members’ own website.
EDJNet encourages the reuse of the contents produced by the consortium by any media outlet with an interest to do so. Moreover, the platform provides a Help-desk for journalists, in order to assist them in the reuse, personalization and embedding of EDJNet’s contents.
It aims at providing news media across Europe with trustworthy and rigorous content, as well as technical support, and at providing the general public with valuable editorial tools for better understanding Europe.
The Speakers:
- Gian Paolo Accardo, VoxEurop

After the presentation the speakers will be available for one-on-one meetings, and there will be networking drinks and snacks.

EDJNet has been set up by a consortium of European media outlets led by Osservatorio Balcani e Caucaso Transeuropa and VoxEurop (France), in close partnership with three other outlets – Alternatives économiques (France), Spiegel Online (Germany), EUObserver (Belgium) – and three data-journalism agencies – Journalism++ Stockholm (Sweden); Local Focus (Netherlands) and Journalism Robotics (Sweden). Eight other media – two data journalism newsrooms (BIQdata at Gazeta Wyborcza in Poland and Pod črto in Slovenia) and six major outlets (Askanews and Internazionale in Italy, NRC Handelsblad in the Netherlands , El Confidential in Spain, H-Alter in Croatia and Ouest-France in France) – already take part as EDJNet partners in this broad network. These partners have a cumulated potential audience of 70 million unique monthly viewers and the network is open to new associates.
