"Nobody told me I would not be doing journalism if I started a centre for investigative journalism"
A great panel on lessons from journalists becoming managers, with members of Reference @elisabetta_tola @evabelmonte @007_delic and GIJN's Emilia Díaz-Struck at #dataharvest.
“If you don’t think a news organisation is useful then why would you support it?”
@Disclose_ngo readers saying they had doubts about Disclose’s impact was the alert that led them to implement a new methodology to measure their impact, says @pierreleibo #EIJC24 #dataharvest
“Impact indicators are linked to the mission of your organisation, the promises you make to the public” - @pierreleibo
