A guide for journalists on how to observe and measure the reduction of water reserves in water bodies, like the Aposelemi Dam in Crete, with the use and the analysis of satellite images.
We have collected historical data on the water reserves in Attica's reservoirs and are publishing it as an open dataset.
We attended the 5th European Conference on Data Journalism and Computational Journalism, held for the first time in Athens. Here, we gather some of the key takeaways.
Although social media is an important “channel” for publishing journalistic investigations, it is also a rich source of information for all kinds of journalistic research. At the Dataharvest 2025 conference, we learned useful ways in which journalists can gather data from platforms for their investigations.
PRESS FORWARD
Features and analyses about the present and future of journalism
Journalists Laís Martins and Pablo Jiménez Arandia talk to iMEdD about their investigations on the “big issue of our time: how the world is going to sustain the development of AI.”
In a free-flowing conversation curated by the Pew-Knight Initiative for iMEdD's 2025 International Journalism Forum, four journalists discuss how the transfer of power from traditional media gatekeepers to the general public is playing out.

Professor Nick Diakopoulos speaks to iMEdD about how generative artificial intelligence is affecting newsrooms and journalism’s comparative advantage in content production.
Can a cartoon be "born" from an algorithm? If so, what does this mean for the future of satire and commentary? An AI researcher and four cartoonists speak to iMEdD. The latter explain why, after experimenting, they chose to leave it out of the picture —for now.
