Deadline: 15 February 2024
The Newsroom 27 is a unique journalistic project, financed by the European Commission and edited by Slate France.
It aims to create an ephemeral trans-European newsroom composed of 27 young journalists, from all over the EU, and to draw up a panorama of EU cohesion policy.
Benefits
- The selected candidates will benefit from the advice of professional journalists from Slate France, and will have the opportunity to learn from each other in the virtual newsroom. A common conversation will be opened, and three plenary sessions of the newsroom will be organized throughout the process.
- The 27 selected candidates will be remunerated, and the costs related to the report will be covered. The young reporters will be guided in their investigation, reporting, writing and editing work by Slate.fr’s editorial staff, and by a project manager who is himself a journalist.
The Stories
- Each member of The Newsroom 27 will have to write one long story (1000 words/7000 characters minimum) linked to a project financed by the EU in his country, through an original angle.
- The stories should present innovative projects supported by the EU in a European region, and more specifically initiatives developed with the help of the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the Cohesion Fund (CF), the European Social Fund (ESF) and the Just Transition Fund and the Recovery Plan in key sectors –innovation, ecology, digital, social, citizenship.
Eligibility Criteria
- The project is open to every journalist and student-journalist, aged 30 at most, citizen of the European Union, with or without a press card.
