THREAD Trust is key when working together across borders, even more so as investigative journalists.

THREAD
We have no idea what you have been doing in your home offices over the past ten months.
This is what we have done, among a few other things: Journalismtrustinitiative.org 1/ JTI is a one-of-a-kind tool for journalism.

To regain the competitive advantage over pseudo-journalism.
To detox our information space by pushing the good, to drive out the bad.
