Fojo works together with partners, both in Sweden and around the world, to strengthen and develop journalism and media so that it can contribute to a more democratic and sustainable world.

Together with partners we strengthen journalism for a more democratic and sustainable world

The world is facing an era of immense environmental, social, and economic challenges, both at a local and global level. These challenges demand a new understanding of the role of journalism in society.

On this basis, we formulate our vision:

The public has access to the journalism it needs to make informed and sustainable decisions so that people have power over their lives and can, together with others, form sustainable, democratic, and inclusive societies.

Just as independent journalism is an inalienable part of democracy, Fojo sees it as an essential element of an environmentally, socially and economically sustainable society. We call this new way of looking at the role of journalism sustainable journalism. Our points of departure are two concurrent sustainability crises:

- The sustainability crisis facing society, related to climate change, poverty, inequality, and crumbling democracies

- The sustainability crisis facing journalism, which stems from an erosion of revenue streams, fierce competition from the global social media companies, restrictions of freedom of expression, media capture, disinformation and deteriorating public trust in the media.
