Reporters United

Reporters United is a Greece-based investigative journalism network established in 2019, created by a collective of reporters determined to counter the growing pressures on press freedom and the scarcity of resources for serious investigations. Rather than functioning as a traditional newsroom, it operates as a collaborative hub, bringing together independent journalists to work on stories that require expertise, patience, and independence. The organisation’s work centres on cross-border investigations, data journalism, and long-form reporting that unpacks corruption, abuses of power, surveillance, labour violations, and systemic failures across Greek institutions. Reporters United often partners with major international consortia, such as OCCRP or the European Investigative Collaborations network, to amplify the reach and impact of its findings. Financially, the project is sustained through grants, non-profit partnerships, and reader contributions, intentionally avoiding corporate ownership or political backing. This allows the team to pursue complex investigations with no obligations to advertisers or powerful stakeholders. In a media landscape where independence is increasingly difficult, Reporters United has built a reputation as a principled, methodical, and fearless investigative force, committed to transparency and public accountability through collaborative journalism.
