Lighthouse Reports is an award-winning pioneer of collaborative journalism. We work with Europe’s leading media to deliver deeply reported, public interest journalism on migration, conflict and corruption. We do this by building newsrooms around topics and channeling editors, tools and resources to working journalists with the results reaching the public on existing platforms.

We have co-published series and investigations that have already reached more than 30m people across 70+ media partners. We work across media formats from television and documentary to news and radio, podcasts, print and online.

Work on the kind of meaningful stories that need a team. We convene reporters, specialists and experts into newsrooms that are built around topics and provide an editor who cares as much about the story as you do.

These are open to freelancers as well as staff reporters, print and broadcast, early career as well as seasoned journalists. Check out our active newsrooms and get in touch. Remember why you became a journalist. Report with ambition.

Lighthouse Reports is not a publisher. Our work reaches the public through our media partners. Because we’re not trying to shape investigations to suit our own platform we’re well-placed to lead transnational collaborations.

Each one of our newsrooms is built around a strategic resource that we think can break new ground in the topic it covers and have real impact. Sometimes that is open source investigation, sometimes money trails or data science — often a combination of them. Join a newsroom. Do new.

Help the topics you care about to be translated into in-depth independent journalism on major outlets and across borders and languages. Lighthouse Reports welcomes support from foundations and individual donors who care about the themes we cover.

We believe that our radical collaborative model can play a vital part in sustaining public interest journalism and breeding communities of accountability around topics that matter.
