The main objectives of InPerspective are 1. to broaden international journalism through intercultural and interlingua exchange of news and ideas, 2. to create an international network of journalists and translators who embrace our intercultural mission, and 3. to provide readers with international perspectives which may not be accessible to them due to language barriers or lack of coverage in national press.
We strive to achieve democratic journalism, which involves journalists, translators and readers in the editorial process. Our platform allows for readers not only to comment and rate articles but also to vote for topics they are interested in, and for journalists and translators to be part of the decision-making process of the publication. We are also working on a project to visualize stories, and include data journalism for main topics using our global map, which is the visual base of our website www.inperspective.media.
In order to achieve these objectives, InPerspective has established an online magazine, which publishes articles of interest in a variety of languages. We have also began to build a wide network of international journalists, translators, editors, and readers. Our platform encourages interaction between journalists and readers in order to create a virtual international pressroom.
The main objective of ALF is to overcome misunderstandings and stereotypes that affect relations among the societies of the Euro-Med — a task which became of utmost importance in the last decade. InPerspective e.V. shares and contributes to this mission with its online magazine www.inperspective.media by creating a virtual space where different perspectives can be represented and shared in a multitude of languages. By giving to voice to writers and journalists who write report on relevant issues we provide readers, who usually can only get access to their national (or maybe continental) perspective, with a wider understanding. InPerspective brings people of diverse backgrounds in dialogue and promotes an understanding of „the other“, surmounting the barriers of language and /or distance.
InPerspective would be interested in partnering with network organizations both within and outside of Germany by connecting our growing network of journalists and translators with organizations, provide space for coverage of activities and projects of ALF and their network organizations.
We want to be part of the ALF Network’s 4000+ civil society organisations, which share the values of the foundation. We want to be part of this network, not only because we strongly believe in the power and importance of civil society and intercultural dialogue but as a a multilingual media platform, we built InPerspective precisely to empower civil society. We already have partners in Israel and Egypt and look forward to connecting with organizations from across the Euro-Med and beyond. Through membership in the ALF Network, we hope to spread our mission and help people reach news and perspective beyond those provided by national and regional media. In addition, we hope to provide a platform for all who share our mission and establish partnerships with organizations and persons who are actively involved in inter-regional dialogue.
