OBC Transeuropa

OBC Transeuropa is a transnational journalism and research platform founded in 2003, operating across Europe with a strong focus on democracy, human rights, and media freedom. Rather than acting as a traditional newsroom, it works at the intersection of journalism, advocacy, and policy analysis, producing reporting that connects local realities to wider European debates. Its work often centres on press freedom, rule of law, migration, minority rights, and civic space, particularly in regions where democratic standards are under strain. OBC Transeuropa brings together journalists, researchers, and civil society actors to document violations, analyse trends, and give visibility to voices that are frequently marginalised in mainstream European coverage. The organisation functions through networks and collaborations, publishing investigations, thematic dossiers, and analytical pieces while also coordinating cross-border projects and monitoring initiatives. This model allows it to respond flexibly to emerging issues and maintain a strong presence in multiple countries without being tied to a single national media ecosystem. OBC Transeuropa operates as a non-profit organisation, funded through grants, institutional support, and project-based funding, with no commercial advertising. Its independence enables it to prioritise public-interest work and long-term research over traffic-driven journalism, positioning it as a reference point for journalists, policymakers, and civil society across Europe.
