Initiative summary:

Al Jumhuriya Collective, an online media platform providing in-depth coverage and analysis of Syrian politics, society, and culture, by combining the methods of investigative journalism with the tools provided by the digital medium, and by building a world-class network of Syria-specialized commentators, analysts, and critics.

It also seeks to empower aspiring Syrian journalists to transcend the basic task of news gathering, by providing the knowledge and skills necessary for them to analyse, contextualize, and develop raw information into interpretive reportage.
