Often, when journalists are silenced, they work on topics related to severe human rights violations, environmental crimes, or corruption cases that affect us all. One way to face up to these global crimes is for journalists to team up in consortiums.
As with every innovative modus operandi, cross-border investigations imply a paradigm shift for journalism to break specific stories to the public that are complex, time-consuming and dangerous. Instead of adopting the spirit of a ‘lone wolf reporter’, collaboration implies sharing. Sharing data, notes, interview transcripts and so on. At Forbidden Stories, sharing resources and expertise enables us to take the investigation a step further. Being alone is, to an extent, ‘easier’ as the only compromises you need to make are limited to you: your rhythm, deadlines, and work. When compromises imply more than 50 media organizations and 150 journalists, they require more coordination and a clear framework from day 1, which is always easier said than done.
Yet the benefits of coordination outweigh its logistical challenges. Collaborative journalism brings the protection, resources and impact needed to deter threats and crimes against journalists. It also sends a strong message to the enemies of the press: killing the journalist won’t kill the story.
Organised in association with Forbidden Stories.

Dmitry Muratov
Dmitry Muratov is editor-in-chief of Novaya Gazeta and joint winner - with Maria Ressa - of the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize for "their efforts to safeguard freedom of expression, which is a precondition for democracy and lasting peace.” He started out as a journalist for Soviet newspapers. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, he and other journalists co-founded the newspaper Novaya Gazeta, which soon became a leading advocate for democracy and freedom of expression in Russia. The Soviet Union’s last leader and the 1990 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Mikhail Gorbachev, supported the newspaper financially and became co-owner in 2006. Muratov has been editor-in-chief for most years since 1995. Under Muratov’s leadership, Novaya Gazeta has criticised the Russian authorities for corruption, electoral fraud and human rights violations. Six of the newspaper’s journalists have been murdered because they wrote critical articles on Russian military operations in Chechnya and the Cauca...
