Danwatch

Danwatch is a pan-European independent investigative media and research centre based in Copenhagen, Denmark. Founded in 2005, it focuses on in-depth reporting on human rights, corporate accountability, governance, the environment, and social issues, often uncovering abuses and systemic failures overlooked by mainstream media. The organisation produces evidence-based, long-form investigations and frequently collaborates with Danish and international media partners to amplify the impact of its work. Its journalism aims to inform public debate, strengthen civic oversight, and hold powerful actors accountable across Europe. Danwatch operates with full editorial independence and is funded through grants, foundation support, and public subsidies. It does not rely on advertising, allowing the newsroom to prioritise investigative projects in the public interest. Recognised for its award-winning investigations, Danwatch has become one of Denmark’s leading investigative journalism centres, consistently producing reporting that influences policy discussions and raises awareness of critical social, environmental, and governance issues.
