The WSCIJ ‘Free to share’ initiative is geared at broadening the scope of freedom of expression through engagements on media ethics and accountability journalism. This pilot project under the initiative will interrogate the intersection between COVID-19, access to information and misinformation by publishing data-driven, human interest investigative stories that will support the media to better provide access to information that informs, educates, and debunks misinformation about the coronavirus pandemic and its multifaceted impact on lives and livelihoods.
The project is implemented in partnership with Free Press Unlimited (FPU) as part of the ‘COVID-19 response in Africa: Together for reliable information project’, funded by the European Union (EU).
