We are pleased to announce the journalists selected for the iMEdD Forum Fellowships, who will participate in the International Journalism Forum, taking place in Athens from September 25 to 27, 2025.
Journalists from Thessaloniki, Crete, Orestiada, Patras, and Komotini will attend discussions and workshops on the latest trends in journalism, exchange ideas on how to highlight local news, and later produce reports inspired by the experiences and insights gained during the Forum.
Here is the list of fellows:

The fellows were selected by the iMEdD team through an open application process. This year’s call focused on including journalists from a wide range of, and especially more remote, regions, where news coverage and distribution often face additional challenges.
The initiative covers travel and accommodation expenses for the duration of the Forum, providing tangible support to local and regional journalists in Greece and giving them the opportunity to actively engage in an international journalistic dialogue.
