Solomon is a nonprofit investigative journalism outlet based in Greece, dedicated to producing impactful, high-quality journalism that serves the public interest. With a focus on critical issues such as migration, climate, and corruption, Solomon aims to uncover stories that matter and shed light on systemic injustices. By forging cross-border collaborations and partnering with media organizations across Europe, Solomon works to hold powerful institutions accountable and inspire meaningful change at both local and European levels.

Despite its small size, with just six team members, Solomon has established itself as a powerful investigative force. Its rigorous reporting and impactful storytelling have garnered significant recognition. In recent years, Solomon’s work has been nominated for and won several prestigious awards, including the European Press Prize, the IJ4EU Impact Award, and the Daphne Caruana Galizia Journalism Prize, underscoring its influence on the European media landscape.

Solomon exemplifies progressive leadership and a commitment to fostering a sustainable, people-centered work culture. As Greece’s only woman-led investigative outlet, with a predominantly female editorial team, Solomon stands as a model of inclusivity and innovation. The organization prioritizes mental health and team well-being, recognizing these as essential not only to its own sustainability but also to the long-term vitality of independent journalism. This forward-thinking approach reflects a vision for journalism that values ethical practices and the well-being of its practitioners as much as the integrity and impact of the stories they produce.

Through its commitment to producing transformative journalism, fostering collaboration, and prioritizing the health of its team, Solomon not only stands as a beacon of investigative excellence but also as a model for a more sustainable and inclusive future in journalism.

The media outlet is funded through journalism grants and its readers.
