The document proposes creating a network of journalism schools and creative agencies in the Balkan region to produce in-depth, explanatory multimedia news stories in English over 5 years. The goal is to train student journalists and share complex stories with truth and balance to address the shortage of explanatory news and focus on daily headlines. Expected results include changes to journalism curricula and training students in multimedia storytelling to inform both regional and global audiences.
