Solomon is a non-profit based in Greece that produces journalism that serves the interest of the public.

Our objective is to hold power to account, support domestic investigative journalism, as well as facilitate collaboration among journalists at a cross-border level.

In recent years, Solomon has become an influential outlet, publishing investigations in Greek and English that are often discussion starters.

We team up with experts from various fields – journalists, photo-journalists, developers, designers, OSINT and data experts – and devote our time and resources to delving into underreported issues. Our reporting is structured around four main areas: accountability of those in power, refugees and migration, environment, and food systems.

To support the journalistic community in a practical way, we have created the Solomon media lab, an innovative educational hub that provides training, tool-kits and good practice guides for journalists.

We are accountable to our community and believe that full transparency is the way to regain the public’s lost trust in journalism.
