Platform for investigative journalism and analysis (PINA)

https://pina.mk/

The Platform for Investigative Journalism and Analysis (PINA) publishes investigative stories.

Its co-founder, Kristina Ozimec, hopes "PINA will bring freshness and new energy in the national media landscape by presenting and promoting new faces in the media discourse, as well as stories ignored by the mainstream media in the country". PINA's mission, as Ozimec describes it, is to find the weightiest stories—that is, those which deal with the everyday life of citizens.

The organisation supports young journalists journalists through journalism training. The Program for Women Journalists trains women in mobile and multimedia journalism and mentors them while they contribute to producing multimedia stories at PINA on topics including gender issues, human rights and underrepresented communities.

PINA also has a programme to mentor and support young journalists that allow them to work on texts and analyses. Furthermore, the outlet is a partner of the Network of Young Journalists.
