2024 Wrap-up: the programmes, the events and the resources
2024 has been a significant year for the European Journalism Centre’s programmes, initiatives, and events.
We have gathered reflections from our team on what they valued the most and what left the greatest mark on the overall EJC experience over the past year. Here are some key highlights:
Knowing our grantees trust us to deliver training means a lot and I was very happy to do it. It was a great experience and they were really happy about it too!
Juliette Gerbais, Project Manager
We brought together over 1000 journalists interested in innovation in journalism and media, produced 10 amazing podcasts, and organised several hands-on virtual workshops.
Lucas Daniels, Team lead IT, web and marketing and communications
We did an amazing job across all projects and it would be hard to pick only a few single achievements as every milestone achieved has felt like a win.
Zlatina Siderova, Programme Lead Grants

Journalism Innovation Podcast: new episode
In this podcast episode, we delve into the state of the podcasting market in Europe, highlighting successful case studies from Poland and Slovakia.
To learn more, we interviewed Maciej Okraszewski, a journalist and founder of the podcast "Dział Zagraniczny," which means "Foreign Department" in Polish.
The podcast features exclusive reporting and conversations with experts on global events not covered by other Polish media. Additionally, we spoke with Dávid Tvrdoň, a journalist, podcaster, and subscription specialist at the Slovak daily SME.sk. Along with serving as a digital strategist, he is the co-founder of Slovenské podcasty, Slovakia’s independent podcast network and the Slovak Podcast Awards.
