(NR) is a registered not-for-profit association of journalists founded in 2001. NR is an independent organization, and only pursues goals with a clear public benefit. The organization seeks to improve the quality of media coverage using investigative methods of journalism.<\/p>\n<p>To achieve this, NR draws attention to the importance of journalistic research for a democratic society and aims to strengthen the research skills of journalists.<\/p>\n<p>The <a style=\"text-decoration: none;color: #4682b4\" href=\"https:\/\/netzwerkrecherche.org\/termine\/konferenzen\/jahreskonferenzen\/\">association\u2019s annual conference<\/a> is one of the biggest events for journalists in Europe. Additionally, Netzwerk Recherche hosts several <a style=\"text-decoration: none;color: #4682b4\" href=\"https:\/\/netzwerkrecherche.org\/termine\/konferenzen\/fachkonferenzen\/\">other congresses and seminars<\/a> which focus on a certain aspect of journalism, e.g. fact-checking, freedom of information or undercover investigations. The participants improve their expertise during these workshops and seminars and also discuss current media issues.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore nr publishes a book series named <a style=\"text-decoration: none;color: #4682b4\" href=\"https:\/\/netzwerkrecherche.org\/handwerk\/nr-werkstatt\/\">NR-Werkstatt<\/a>, in which the outcomes of the conferences are documented. The books reach not only the members of the association but also other journalists, students and educational facilities.<\/p>\n<p>Every year the <a style=\"text-decoration: none;color: #4682b4\" href=\"https:\/\/netzwerkrecherche.org\/stipendien-preise\/leuchtturm\/\">\u201eLeuchtturm-Preis\u201c<\/a> (the Lighthouse award) is accorded for a special achievement in the field of journalism. Also awarded is the \u201e<a style=\"text-decoration: none;color: #4682b4\" href=\"https:\/\/netzwerkrecherche.org\/stipendien-preise\/verschlossene-auster\/\">Verschlossene Auster<\/a>\u201c (the Closed Oyster award) for the biggest information-blocker of the year.<\/p>\n<p>In 2006 NR outlined a code of ethics for journalists, the \u201e<a style=\"text-decoration: none;color: #4682b4\" href=\"https:\/\/netzwerkrecherche.org\/ziele\/zentrale-forderungen\/medienkodex\/\">Medienkodex<\/a>\u201c. Section 5 in particular, which relates to the strict separation of journalism from public relations (\u201eJournalists do not do PR\u201c), brought about much discussion within the German media sector.<\/p>\n<p>In order to facilitate investigative journalism, the association awards <a style=\"text-decoration: none;color: #4682b4\" href=\"https:\/\/netzwerkrecherche.org\/stipendien-preise\/recherche-stipendien\/\">scholarships to journalists<\/a>. Every servitor is assigned a mentor to support and advise them.<\/p>\n<p>Together with several other associations Netzwerk Recherche advocated the <a style=\"text-decoration: none;color: #4682b4\" href=\"https:\/\/netzwerkrecherche.org\/handwerk\/informationsfreiheit-und-auskunftsrechte\/ifg-guide\/ifg-bundesgesetz\/\">German Freedom of Information Act<\/a>, which came into effect in 2006.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Netzwerk Recherche e.V.
