Center for Investigative Journalism SCOOP Macedonia
http://scoop.mk/
The Center for Investigative Journalism SCOOP Macedonia is a non-governmental and non-profit organisation that aims to promote, support, and stimulate investigative journalism in North Macedonia and the Western Balkans. It consists of a group of experienced journalists whose mission is to use investigative journalism tools to decrease corruption and improve citizens' lives by ensuring good governance, transparent institutions, and the protection of human rights.
SCOOP supports journalists by providing the financial or professional help needed for the development of investigative journalism in the country and the region. It introduced investigative journalism in the country by conducting investigations on systemic corruption and topics such as politics, the economy, and the military.
In an ongoing project, the media outlet profiles political people in the country such as members of parliament and judges, mapping their business interests, connections, and nepotism. It also produces short documentaries to present complex investigations more effectively.
The existence of SCOOP Macedonia was enabled by the Danish association of investigative journalism and a network of other centres for investigative journalism which are a part of theOCCRP network based in Sarajevo.
SCOOP also organises seminars, conferences, and lectures, and teaches investigative journalism in public universities in North Macedonia. It also funds other journalists to cover corruption stories and produces short documentaries to present complex investigations more effectively.
It publishes in three languages: Macedonian, Albanian and English.
