Fkassan.info is an online newspaper and resource bank with focus on the classic journalistic tasks: scrutinizing those in power and distribution of knowledge. We also want to function as a resource bank in order to strengthen our readers' ability to safeguard their interests.
Internet has given us new journalistic opportunities. Online newspapers, like paper based newspapers, can be read when it suits the reader. A difference and advantage over paper based newspapers is that previously published material remains and remains available to you as a reader.
Fkassan.info is based on advanced web technology and will only be available via the Internet. We will develop Fkassan.info continuously in order to become an arena for lively discussions.
Democracy is fragile and can easily go get off track and be reversed. The classic journalistic tasks, scrutinizing those in power and distribution of knowledge, are an essential precondition for democracy to stay on track.
The high costs of traditional media risk creating dependencies on those in power in society, which reduces its ability to act as a "guardian of democracy". Another dilemma that every journalist struggles with is the fact that it is largely the authorities who provide them with information, at the same time as the journalist should scrutinize those in power. This is a delicate balancing act, which not everyone is fortunate enough to master.
Based on what we have experienced in our attempts to gain transparency with different authorities, the scrutinization of authorities seems to be increasingly neglected. We see it as important to conduct investigative journalism in order to strengthen democracy. Fkassan.info will not deliver the quick news, but rather the in-depth reports and analyses.
We are in great need of your tips, views and ideas to develop Fkassan.info into a medium for revitalizing society.
