Fair Observer’s visit at the IDM

The IDM was pleased to welcome Atul Singh to our office in Vienna on the 17th of September. Atul is the founder, CEO, and Editor-in-Chief of Fair Observer, a non-profit media outlet focusing on citizen journalism and civic education through numerous formats. Among the topics of conversation were the upcoming elections in Austria, democratic backsliding in Hungary and Slovakia, and future areas of partnership between our two organizations. The IDM and Fair Observer have been long-standing collaborators, with many our research associates contributing to their wide range of media publications. Recently, director of the IDM Sebastian Schäffer and Atul spoke in a Fair Observer Podcast about the fallout of the extreme flooding in Central and Eastern Europe, which can be found here. We thank Atul for his visit and the chance for us to strengthen our association!
