“Constructive Journalism: A step toward the news we need”

That is the name of the international conference taking place right now in Zagreb, Croatia – and our CEO, Ulrik Haagerup, is one of the keynote speakers


As the very first conference on constructive journalism in Croatia, the three-day event gathers journalists, editors, media leaders, and researchers to explore how journalism can also act as a driver of positive change — rather than only reporting on society’s challenges.
Constructive Institute is proud to contribute to this milestone event being a part of the program throughout all three days.
Yesterday, Ulrik Haagerup joined Professor Peter Bro from Syddansk Universitet – University of Southern Denmark – one of the leading academic voices in journalism research — for a well-received session on the future of constructive journalism.
Ulrik Haagerup and Peter Bro both authored books on constructive journalism, which has been published in Croatian, translated by the fact-checking platform Točno tako for the Agency for Electronic Media (AEM).
As part of the conference, Orla Borg, head of the Fellowship Progam at Constructive Institute, gives a workshop on constructive journalism.
