Project Activities
Supporting Independent Media and Reliable Information in Moldova (SIMR) is a 24-months project designed to consolidate the proficiency of independent Moldovan journalists and media’s sustainable business models. Through delivering tailored capacity building trainings on fact-checking and investigative reporting, the project team aims at increasing the production of quality content countering disinformation.
