Дискусия „Outriders Meetup in Sofia: Cross-border Stories“

Join us in a discussion about cross-border journalism and listen to three journalists sharing their work on international stories!

The ultimate aim of Outriders Network is to support good journalism. What does that mean? We want to create good, impactful and informed stories. We want to collaboratively tell them in their most suited multimedia form, we want them to spread and help people understand the world. We believe that good journalism is when the stories come first.
