About Us
The FYI Collective is a group of six freelance journalists. We joined forces because journalism can be a lonely profession, and freelance journalists, in particular, often find themselves forced to work against each other rather than collaboratively under current conditions. In an already precarious industry like journalism, we want to pool our resources instead of being pitted against one another. As a collective, we work together, share resources, conduct joint research, celebrate successful stories, and support each other when things aren't going so well.
We investigate topics such as the environment and climate, the economy and labor, migration and refugees, gender relations, discrimination, corruption, and right-wing extremism. We prefer working as a team, as demonstrated by our joint investigations into forestry work in Austria and the OMV greenwashing plant . Our work can be heard and read in publications including ZEIT (Online), DER STANDARD, DOSSIER, PROFIL, Ö1, Wiener Zeitung, and Die Furche. Our work has received numerous awards in recent years, and members of the FYI collective regularly appear on national best-of lists.
