United citizens protect the public interest best: Lessons learned from the project “Connect the Dots”

How do united citizens best protect the public interest? Read our lessons learned from the project “Connect the Dots”. We created a civic coalition that enables civil society, academia, the media and public institutions to work together for better governance. We focused on protecting the public interest and strengthening public interest journalism. We gave space to different views, raised topics that were marginalised in the traditional media and helped them become mainstream in media reporting.
