Fellowship Publication 2013: Integrity

The 2013 topic – Integrity – has been interpreted by the journalists in a variety of ways,touching on themes such as the protection of whistleblowers, corruption, media ethicsand the legacy of war. 

The Fellowship gives journalists the means to follow their storyacross borders and see how similar situations are dealt with in different countries. Thisyear, for example, striking insights have been gained by comparing how veterans aretreated in Croatia and Serbia.

Our reporters have pursued the rampant culture of briberyfrom the universities of Bosnia to the hospitals of Romania. They have written about corruptmayors, politicized NGOs and irresponsible governments. Their detailed investigationshelp our readers understand complex issues better.
