Network for global journalists

The Facebook group is the first to know about the Development Journalism Award, Vikes grants and events. Tailored events are also organised for the network.

Welcome to an informal group of Global Journalists!

The Vikes network for journalists interested in global issues is an open Facebook group called Global Journalists.

The background to this is Vikes’ desire to network better with development journalists, and to offer a range of services to journalists in the field.

The network was launched on 24. March 2022 at the “Journalism from Africa” event organised by Vikes in cooperation with the Development Communication Unit of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Grants, prize, events

The network is the first to be informed about Vikes’ services and events, such as the Development Journalism Award, which Vikes has established together with the Finnish Red Cross, Helsingin Sanomai Foundation and the Union of Journalists in Finland.
