Previous editions

Check out the themes and highlights from previous editions of the World Between the Lines festival.

2025

Press under pressure

Media under siege. We mapped how governments, oligarchs, and economic pressure are capturing independent journalism across Central Europe – and what journalists can do about it.

2024

Garage journalism

We focused on independent media projects and community journalism: from small magazines and podcasts to regional newsrooms – and how to fund, sustain, and grow journalism outside mainstream media.

2023

Global issues, local views

Beyond stereotypes. We explored how to report ethically on Africa, migration, and climate crisis – and how to photograph human dignity instead of human misery.

2022

Between the lines

Our first edition brought together young journalists for international training focused on global storytelling – from migration reporting to podcast creation and field work.
