iMEdD International Journalism Forum is the fifth edition of an annual gathering of journalists, initiated by iMEdD nonprofit journalism organization. Each year, journalists and media professionals from Greece and abroad come together to discuss new methods and tools, exchange ideas, address concerns and build a strong community in a bid for a better journalism.
In 2022, for 5 days and 38 sessions, 120 speakers and over 1k participants met to exchange experiences, opinions and knowledge.
This year, the Forum will focus on latest trends and best practices on data journalism, collaborative and investigative journalism. Local news, media business models and social media platforms will be also at the spotlight. The preliminary agenda for the 2023 iMEdD International Journalism Forum will be published by May.
iMEdD International Journalism Forum will take place in Athens. The date and the venue will soon be announced.
The Forum is organised by iMEdD (incubator for Media Education and Development). iMEdD is a nonprofit Journalism organisation founded in 2018, courtesy of a donation from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF). Its mission is to support and increase transparency, credibility, and independence in journalism, in an effort to promote excellence in the field.
