We believe that independent, balanced information on cross-border policies affecting citizens, communities and the environment is a key factor of democratic participation. Our reporting is a tool to hold accountable public and private actors responsible for violating rights and putting communities and the environment at risk.
We dig into the climate crisis, border policies, food systems, social movements and the lack of accountability by State and private actors.

FADA proposes a new, decolonized narrative that otherwise normally finds little space in the Italian media landscape, connecting pressing global issues to domestic and local affairs, recognizing the agency of local actors and exploring topics and geographical zones which are rarely covered by mainstream media.

We work with civil society, activists, global and local media outlets, schools and universities.

Is that statement posted online?

Yes
