"Digital Sherlocks" programme

Baltic Centre for Media Excellence (BCME) in cooperation with the UK Embassy in Riga anounces a call for local minority media outlets from Latvia. 

Print, TV, radio, online portals, social networking platforms, as well as combinations of the above types may apply for a "Digital Sherlocks" programme that seeks to support media outlets in Latvia that work in minority languages (mainly in Russian), to strenghten their ability to work on the following subject: disinformation resilience, fact checking and debunking.

We offer:

• Inspirational workshops and mentoring sessions with leading experts.
• Microgrants to develop projects aimed to debunk and fact-check diinformation. 

Join us for seminars and microgrant kick-off evets (in Russian):
