Dataharvest 2026 - the European Investigative Journalism Conference

Journalists taking part in collaborations want equity and respect alongside impact, according to a 2025 poll by Lighthouse Reports. But what does that mean on the ground, and how can journalists advance equity in practical ways?

In this session moderated by journalist Hazel Sheffield, Lighthouse managing editor Hui Yee Tan will be joined by journalist and researcher Ruona Meyer. Together they will share the highlights of the survey and discuss its implications as well as practical needs of journalists in collaborations, and solutions to overcome inequitable relations in collaborative journalism projects.

Come with your own experiences and questions to share with experienced journalists in a safe, peer-to-peer environment, and openly discuss the things everyone else might be feeling are better left unsaid.
