Michael Leidig Email On Journalism Without Borders Renewable Energy Project In Sudan

Redacted email from Michael Leidig to Markus Braun, sent on 13 December 2013, under the subject line “Renewable Energy”. The email discusses a Journalism Without Borders-supported agricultural school project in southern Sudan and explains that an Austrian firm, eco-tec, had installed a discounted solar power system for the school. The document is relevant because it records a contemporaneous example of Michael Leidig using his media and business contacts to support charitable and development work connected to Journalism Without Borders. In the email, Leidig says the system had reportedly been a good advert for solar power in the region and that nearby villages, a city, and local business people were interested in similar renewable-energy installations. He asks whether his Austrian contact should be introduced, while making clear he does not want to waste the recipient’s time if it is not of interest. The document helps evidence that Journalism Without Borders activity was not limited to publicity claims, but included practical attempts to connect development projects, renewable-energy providers and potential local demand.
