In a friendly atmosphere, experts discuss topics broadly related to media and (investigative) journalism.

The cafés are open to everyone. We ride the wave of current affairs but also delve deeper. We like to grill the journalists ourselves, but rest assured, we'll let them have their say…

Media cafés originated from the VVOJ cafés that have been organized in Flanders and the Netherlands since 2003. Since 2010, deBuren, Journalismfund.eu (Pascal Decroos Fund), and the Flemish-Dutch Association of Investigative Journalists (VVOJ) have joined forces. Media cafés are held annually in Ghent and at various locations in the Netherlands.
The media cafés are announced on this website.
