iMEdD

iMEdD is a non profit organization founded in 2018 with the exclusive donation of Stavros Niarchos Foundation. Its mission is to support and promote the transparency, credibility and independence in journalism on the grounds of securing meritocracy and excellence in the field.

The organization is the outcome of acknowledging a worldwide crisis in journalism, manifested in lack of trust in traditional media and their “replacement” by social media. The danger in this trend is that as the journalistic crosscheck of information is lost, so is the reliability of journalists. Journalists who earn broad trust have the potential to inform society and empower individuals to create social change.

The project and the website were created with the support of iMEdD.
