    ENJOI is a European project exploring and testing engagement as a key asset of innovation in science communication and science journalism. We looked at the experiences of some European media which found innovative ways to survive, or even grow, in our post-pandemic world. In the past episodes, we heard the voices of some of the protagonists of these experiences. In this episode, we wrap up some of these insights together with the person that ideated the very concept of ENJOI, putting together research and journalism in a unique, innovative way.

    4. Independent investigative journalism
    Mar 6 2024
    In recent years, several independent media outlets were born all around Europe, founded by journalists who didn’t find enough space and support in legacy media. Networks of these new media are slowly empowering more and more journalists to undertake relevant and impactful investigations. Many of these small, independent media outlets in Europe are also working very hard to build sustainable business models, sometimes based on the engagement with their audience.

    3. Fact-checking to fight scientific misinformation
    Mar 6 2024
    Fake news - false or inaccurate scientific information - travel around the web and reach more and more people. We had the strongest proof of that during the Covid-19 pandemic. However, someone is fighting to reverse this trend and stop misinformation. Recently, some media or independent journalists started to make fact-checking their core activity. An interesting approach, as the absolute protagonist of fact-checking is the audience. And so engagement is really a crucial ingredient for the success of fact-checking.
