ETHICAL JOURNALISM NETWORK

The EJN works with journalists and others in Europe (W. Balkans & Turkey), China, Africa and the Middle East to improve media ethics, good governance and self-regulation to address misinformation and abusive forms of public communications. We are active in European and global discussion on media policy to combat misinformation and propaganda and to promote ethical discourse in the public sphere.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending is declining
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
