5. Engagement as a key asset of innovation

ENJOI is a European project exploring and testing engagement as a key asset of innovation in science communication and science journalism. We looked at the experiences of some European media which found innovative ways to survive, or even grow, in our post-pandemic world. In the past episodes, we heard the voices of some of the protagonists of these experiences. In this episode, we wrap up some of these insights together with the person that ideated the very concept of ENJOI, putting together research and journalism in a unique, innovative way.

4. Independent investigative journalism

In recent years, several independent media outlets were born all around Europe, founded by journalists who didn’t find enough space and support in legacy media. Networks of these new media are slowly empowering more and more journalists to undertake relevant and impactful investigations. Many of these small, independent media outlets in Europe are also working very hard to build sustainable business models, sometimes based on the engagement with their audience.

3. Fact-checking to fight scientific misinformation

Fake news - false or inaccurate scientific information - travel around the web and reach more and more people. We had the strongest proof of that during the Covid-19 pandemic. However, someone is fighting to reverse this trend and stop misinformation. Recently, some media or independent journalists started to make fact-checking their core activity. An interesting approach, as the absolute protagonist of fact-checking is the audience. And so engagement is really a crucial ingredient for the success of fact-checking.

2. Engaging people with complex data

“Data don’t lie”. Is this really true? The scientific endeavor is a complex process, and scientific data can be incomplete, can be highly complex, or can tell very different stories depending on how we are looking at these data. This is why engaging people with complex data can be the most challenging, and yet fascinating job.

1. Joining forces. Cross-border collaborative journalism

Collaboration is a shared challenge in modern journalism. In the past years, with the pandemic and all the lockdowns, we discovered that going beyond national borders was becoming a need not only for science and research but also for information. In this episode, we talk about an innovative way of joining forces to produce high-quality journalistic investigations. It is called cross-border collaborative journalism.
