European Investigative Collaboration
The European Investigative Collaborations ( EIC ) is a journalistic research network founded in 2016 by nine European media at the time . Well-known projects of the network that led to sensational publications were Football Leaks and Malta Files .
target
The aim of the network is to strengthen cross-border, investigative research . In a statute, the editors-in-chief of the EIC media have agreed on total secrecy to the outside but total transparency to the inside. The topics should interest as broadly as possible and will naturally often take place against a European background. The publication is time-coordinated. Every journalist is free to publish the research with reference to the network under his own name exclusively in his country.
Attendees
The network should gradually grow to include more partners. In principle, however, only one medium per country should be represented in the network.
