A look at some of iMEdD’s initiatives and content from the year we are leaving behind…
PART TWO
The International Journalism Week, organised by iMEdD, raised the issue of trust in journalism, in an attempt to look deeper into the causes, effects and possible solutions. For 5 days, renowned Greek and international speakers, journalists, media professionals and the public had the opportunity to attend workshops, talks, discussions, case studies, special screenings and other interactive activities.
Christiane Amanpour talked to Panagiotis Menegos, journalist and iMEdD podcasts project manager, about the difference between neutrality and objectivity, how women’s movements strengthen democracy and why she refused to wear a vail in her recent cancelled interview with Iranian President Raisi.

iMEdD has launched a new initiative, Local News, to highlight the vital role of local media in the quality of democracy and public debate at local and national level.
After the launch of the new website, a meeting was held in Thessaloniki, with journalists and representatives of local media from various parts of the country, with the aim to exchange views and concerns, but also to start creating a strong community.
The iMEdD Lab collected the data on the evolution of the unleaded gasoline and diesel price in Greece over the last five years. The information reflected in the graphs, is from the Daily Fuel Prices Bulletins (for all Greece and per prefecture), published on a daily basis in the Fuel Retail Price Observatory from March 14th 2017 onwards.
In this analysis you will read and find interactive graphs for:
- The average price of unleaded and diesel fuel over time
- Change (%) in the average price of unleaded and diesel fuel compared to the previous year
- The average price of unleaded 95 octane per county in 2022
The incubator, one of iMEdD’s main pillars, in the context of raising awareness and information on climate change, announced “Climate Inequity” as the main theme of its 4th cycle. Having received applications from professional journalists from Greece and abroad, the incubator is moving forward with the next steps of editing and briefing participants in January 2023.
iMEdD’s podcast “No Man’s Island”, consists of 4 episodes and brings to the surface previously unknown details of the dramatic story of the crew members of the tanker Happy Lady, who spent weeks imprisoned in a natural prison in Nigeria.
