Investigate Europe's executive director Peter Matjasic on working with a remote, culturally different team
Description
The Loop is a Journalism Value project podcast, brought to you by Reference. We are interviewing the members of this network about key challenges for them, ranging from funding and business models, to community engagement and organizational structures, as we explore what success and sustainability looks like for European independent media today.
On today’s episode we take a look at how Investigate Europe works as a remote team with its journalists based all over Europe. We will explore how the organizational culture of a team is defined by the different perspectives between the team members, and the way these differences are navigated.
How communication works in such a team – for example how much sharing of information is optimal so the journalists have all the information they need, but at the same time they are not overburdened?
Also we will talk about the moment a key person decides to leave the organization – how this transition can be managed, and also how a replacement can be found?
