The Loop is a Journalism Value project podcast, brought to you by Reference. We are interviewing the members of this network about key challenges for them, ranging from funding and business models, to community engagement and organizational structures, as we explore what success and sustainability looks like for European independent media today.
On today’s episode we look into The Bureau of Investigative Journalism and their experience with leadership resilience and impact. This non-profit newsroom, based in London, seeks public interest investigations. It was co-founded in 2010 by investigative reporter Elaine Potter, inspired by the New-York based ProPublica.
The Bureau’s fast growing team now has around 40 staff members, who frequently work with legacy media outlets to boost the impact of their stories. In this episode, we’re gonna dive into how they promote impact with less obvious tools.
Listen to find out more about how this investigative newsroom maintains its focus, promotes its leadership resilience, takes care of its staff and manages security risks. And, moreover, how they reorganized the newsroom to boost the impact of their journalism.
