This summer, the exhibition organized by the Media Development Foundation with the support of the EUACI traveled to Dnipro, Cherkasy, and Ivano-Frankivsk to bring local communities together in a dialogue about integrity, accountability, and the power of investigative journalism.
More than 700 people attended interactive installations, panel discussions, anti-corruption city tours, and screenings of the documentary ‘Truth Is My Weapon’ about the work of investigative journalists. The film is available via the link: https://youtu.be/wPGRqA2Q3ck.
Visitors explored 10 real stories of regional investigations that have already brought notable changes to communities, from halting illegal construction to exposing schemes in the land, municipal, and defense sectors. Read the behind-the-scenes stories of each investigation in interviews with their authors on Mediamaker: https://mediamaker.me/category/cases-solutions/.
Investigative journalism gives communities a voice and power to change the rules of the game. This project was a timely reminder of how many changes in local communities were sparked by independent media.
