The ACQJ co-publishes its stories with media outlets around Albania so that they reach as many people as possible. Our work has appeared in most major Albanian online portals and broadcaster.
We have produced more than 50 investigations and primetime television news packages. Our work is also frequently cited by lawyers, academics and policy makers.
We work with a wide variety of sources and collaborators. These include whistleblowers, other journalists, campaigners, politicians, NGOs, lawyers, members of the public, government departments, corporations and regulators. We recognise that many of these sources will have an agenda, and we use rigorous journalistic methods to ensure the information and evidence we are given is correct. We pursue our journalism without political agenda or influence. We corroborate and scrutinise all documents, data and general information we are given. Where we have information that is not in the public domain, we insist on checking its veracity with a second source.
There are exceptional circumstances when this is not possible and in these cases we will state that we have only a single source and explain why we think it is valid to publish the information. We have a thorough and transparent right to reply process.
We want other people and organisations to make use of our work and work with us, and we’ll do everything we can to help them do so. All we ask is that we are credited. We work with other journalists and media partners to help distribute our work. We publish our data and documents when possible so others can use them. We sometimes also provide raw data or evidence to campaigners, NGOs, lobbyists, members of parliament, lawyers and many other interested parties to use in their work. We do this because we believe journalism can help shape our world and is a true force for good, but we understand that we only spark change. It is not our role to make change
happen.

If you want to be a media partner and work with us and co-publish on the day we launch a story, there are a number of things we ask. We have good contacts at most broadcasters and publishers but if you haven’t worked with us before get in touch in advance and have a chat.
