Panel discussion (International Journalism Festival)
On 8 April I participated in a panel at the International Journalism Festival in Perugia, Italy, on behalf of De Correspondent. We talked about different funding models for high-quality journalism. From donations to micropayments, crowdfunding to billionaires, we explored what’s working for us. Fellow panelists were:
- Joyce Barnathan, president of the International Centre for Journalists
- Celeste LeCompte, director business development ProPublica
- Maria Ramirez, co-founder El Español
- Vivian Schiller, executive committee chair Vocativ and former CEO of NPR

Radio appearance (BNR Nieuwsradio)

On Tuesday 22 April, I appeared as a guest at BNR Nieuwsradio, a popular private radio channel in the Netherlands. I responded to the news of the first suspect of sexual assault during New Year’s Eve in Cologne going on trial and put this into a larger context of the reconstruction of the incident. See this post.

Cologne: A Reconstruction (De Correspondent)

Two German journalists, Katrin Ohlendorf and Yermi Brenner, wrote a three-part reconstruction of the New Year’s Eve incident in Cologne for De Correspondent. I coordinated this cross-border project from beginning to end and ensured that all facts were checked rigorously, that the authors received feedback as the project progressed and that the articles were prepped for a Dutch/Belgian readership. I was also responsible for the translation to Dutch. All in all, the three stories (excluding an op-ed written by deputy editor Karel Smouter) provided a clear overview of what is known about Cologne as of April 2016.

The four articles can be found here (Dutch):

* Honderd dagen na het nieuws over Keulen: de feiten

* Van minuut tot minuut: dit gebeurde er met oudjaar in Keulen

* Dit was het nieuws over oudejaaravond in Keulen (maar dan met de kennis van nu)

* Waarom we na honderd dagen nog met een stuk over Keulen komen aanzetten (op-ed)
