Wow, we got a special citation in the 2023 Philip Meyer Journalism Award (with @dora_nemeth_ and others from RFE)! This is the top award for data driven journalism, so an honorable mention is also a really big thing for us. https://t.co/CJklpHuUOr

Hungary’s opposition is targeting Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s China ties ahead of the 2022 elections. Can it work? @voltvalami and I for @RFERL https://t.co/BzOJvBtf0K

All the lies of data science are now uncovered:

"We manage databases with hundreds of thousands or millions of records ... With such huge amount of records, it's unavoidable to make an error."

Viktor Orbán about the failures of the Hungarian vaccination policy.

It can be the first time in history when "the drugs weren't mine, they just appeared in my backpack" kind of reasoning will actually work https://t.co/3irPNY9LXm

Even if it was predictable, it's still surprisingly depressing when it happens with you. https://t.co/P4YOYuBZhG

So strange, 48% of Fidesz voters think that Orban can not be democratically removed from office.

Although Hungary (and every member of the EU) is considered safe place, more than 26 thousand Hungarians have fled the country as asylum seekers in the last 20 years. Their main target country was Canada. https://t.co/UPW203IxLY (in Hungarian)

The biggest boat #disaster in #Hungary seems to derive from both regulatory and human errors. https://t.co/1Jo9sRju4p

That's a freaked out lawyer emailing #PanamaPapers law firm Mossack Fonseca after we published the leak. Read the story here: https://t.co/sO0V8rFBs7

The horrors of Yemen are beyond belief. But they receive appallingly limited attention. Elsewhere, they would induce global outrage, frequent editorials, and daily front-page reporting. Yemen’s poverty and weakness must be key factors. No one has a major stake in ending the war.

On #anticorruptionday, thanks to the whistleblowers who contact @ICIJorg with stories, big and small. We do our best to make sure they see the light of day. And thanks to journalists from hundreds of countries who share our belief - the best exposés are those we work together on
