About us<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Since 2015, Svet Medzi Riadkami (The World Between the Lines) has been bridging the gap between academia and practical journalism. We create educational materials, organise workshops and teach courses in which we educate students to recognise and oppose unethical practices in newsrooms. We demonstrate how to withstand pressure from political or economic interests while remaining faithful to the public interest.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

OUR MISSION\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

At a time when journalistic integrity is under pressure from economic and political interests, we work to strengthen it. We create a media space in which marginalised voices can be heard. We teach future journalists how to professionally and ethically cover complex social issues, such as climate change, migration and discrimination against minorities. We also build bridges between journalism departments, newsrooms and journalism initiatives in the V4 region.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
