About this project

Christian Schwägerl from Riff freie Medien gGmbH is responsible for this project
Our society needs reliable, well-investigated sources of information, for example on the climate crisis and the protection of biodiversity. 

Disinformation, opinion mongering and polarisation are damaging to democracy. Quality journalism can counteract this - and with Riff freie Medien gGmbH, you too can play your part. 

Your donation will support the work of excellent freelance journalists - especially on-site research, time for in-depth discussions with those affected and academics, fact-checking and international cooperation, as well as media education projects, for example in cooperation with public libraries. 

Help us to make good journalism strong! Your donation is needed because publishers and broadcasters hardly pay for research on location or over longer periods of time, but this is essential for good journalism. 

Your donation will enable research in the fields of science and the environment, which are certainly important to you.

Examples of recently funded projects include
- Polar expedition on the biodiversity of the Arctic
- Research on the views of poorer people on climate policy
- Damage to wildlife caused by border fences
- Recycling nitrogen and phosphorus
- The future of the energy transition

The sponsored journalists use their research for articles in a wide range of media.
Every euro we receive goes towards strengthening quality journalism.

We would like to say a big thank you to all our past and future supporters!
