Fundacja Reporterów

Fundacja Reporterów (Reporters' Foundation) is a Polish non-profit foundation dedicated to supporting investigative journalism, training, and cross-border reporting projects. Founded in 2010 by a group of Polish journalists including Paweł Reszka, Wojciech Cieśla, Michał Majewski, and Roman Daszczyński, it was initially created to support journalists in Eastern Partnership countries. Its headquarters are in Warsaw. The foundation's board president is Wojciech Cieśla, and since 2018 Anna Gielewska has served as vice-president. Over the years, the foundation has expanded its training, grant-making, and publishing activities, focusing on international cooperation and support for independent newsrooms and reporters. Since 2017 it has coordinated the VSquare project, dedicated to cross-border investigations in the Visegrad Group countries. In 2021 it launched the portal Frontstory.pl, of which it is the publisher. The foundation also runs an English-language service where investigative texts by journalists from Central Europe are published, covering topics such as Russian propaganda, Chinese investments, and the growing influence of ultra-conservative organizations. It exposes mechanisms of organized disinformation and lobbying at the intersection of business and politics. The foundation's activities focus on investigative journalism, particularly in areas of corruption, transparency of public life, human rights, and international cooperation. It is associated with international journalistic networks, including OCCRP and the Global Investigative Journalism Network. In 2019 the foundation launched a grant program for journalistic investigations covering at least two countries of the Visegrad region. In 2023 it started the Investigative Journalism Hub project and a mentoring program for local investigative journalists. The foundation considers investigative journalism a public good, viewing it as a way to hold power accountable, expose disinformation mechanisms, reveal behind-the-scenes dealings, and uncover corruption and crime.
