For 20+ years, BIRN has supported reporters and newsrooms across the Balkans to develop the skills, access the resources and build the networks they need to investigate, verify and report stories that matter.

❗️ @WorldNewsDay26 is a day to recognise what goes into journalism: the questioning, investigating, and explaining; the dogged persistence to get to the truth. Know the facts. Understand what matters.

Behind every fact, there is a journalist.
Behind every journalist, there is risk.
We stand with them.
