VSquare is a Warsaw-based investigative journalism organisation founded in 2018, created to follow power across borders rather than within a single country. Its reporting tracks corruption, state capture, disinformation, and security threats across Central and Eastern Europe, with a particular focus on the Visegrád region. Instead of publishing a high volume of stories, VSquare works selectively on complex investigations that connect political influence, business interests, and foreign interference. Its journalists rely heavily on document analysis, open-source intelligence, and regional expertise, often revealing links that only become visible when viewed transnationally. The organisation functions as a journalistic hub, collaborating closely with national media outlets, investigative centres, and international networks to publish findings in multiple countries simultaneously. This model allows VSquare to amplify impact while remaining lean and specialised. VSquare operates as a non-profit entity, funded through grants, project-based support, and institutional funding, without advertising or commercial revenue. This structure supports its focus on high-risk, high-impact investigations and preserves editorial independence in politically sensitive environments.
