Global Journalism Innovation Lab
Project dates: 01/04/2019 - 31/03/2025
This $2.5m Partnership Grant project focuses on explanatory journalism that seeks to provide evidence-based information and perspectives to inform public dialogue and policy action, against a background of decline in some commercial media and job losses, together with concerns about so-called fake news. It investigates how experimental digital journalism forms can impact civic engagement and policy uptake, in partnership with The Conversation Canada and the network of affiliates in Australia, France, the U.K. and the U.S. More information at the project website: https://journalisminnovation.ca
