This 9 March 2010 email records the CEN newsdesk forwarding a Guardian / Greenslade link about Journalism Without Borders to Hannes Urban, Christian Klasan and others involved in the project, with the brief message: “Congratulations.” The linked article, published the same day, reported that Journalism Without Borders had been set up to help people who were written about in difficult circumstances after journalists and media organisations had moved on. It described the project as being launched with the help of Central European News, web designers Klasan Werbeagentur and the registered Austrian charity Helfen Wir, meaning “We Help”, which was administering the site. The article also quoted Michael Leidig explaining that the site accepted submissions only from journalists under strict conditions, not from the general public, and that the editorial side was kept separate from the charity side. The document is significant because it records external media recognition of the Journalism Without Borders model shortly after launch and confirms the relationship between CEN, Helfen Wir and the web/technical partners involved in building the platform. In the wider evidence chain, it helps show that CEN’s humanitarian journalism work was public, structured and recognised by mainstream media years before the later BuzzFeed allegations reduced the agency to its tabloid and viral output.
