The Agency took place in a global conference in Aarhus that brought together over 400 editors, journalists and experts on communication to discuss ‘constructive journalism’.
“The way we cover news is the reason why people turn off media”, emphasised the founder of the Constructive Journalism Institute Ulrik Haagerup. The conference discussed why and how media can combat trivialisation and degradation of journalism by emphasising reporting that is more accurate, balanced and solutions-focussed. FRA´s work on the media toolkit follows this approach as a ‘one-stop-shop’ for news examples, know-how tips and information sources for journalists covering news in which a fundamental rights angle is needed to enhance credibility, accountability and humanity.
