Danes Je Nov Dan

https://danesjenovdan.si

Danes je nov dan - DJND was established in 2013. It is an example of experimental "digital new media", as it uses specific strengths and tools of the internet to create interactive and participatory projects, informing the public in ways that would not be possible on traditional media platforms.

The outlet produces content such as informative video games, interactive tools for crowdsourcing information on a specific topic, and tools for more transparent monitoring of the legislative process, among others.

DNJD employs a combination of content production, marketing and technological skills, academic research, and insights into social movements to communicate essential social and ethical issues. It aims to include the audience in the story to address relevant public problems and current events, including hate speech, environment, minority rights, inequality, and accessibility.

DNJD also produces more traditional media genres such as Agrument, a daily written commentary of 1,000 characters on the national media industry that draw attention to the hidden sides of big stories, highlights small but significant incidents, monitors independent media, and looks into the political backstage.

The newsroom emphasises that the information and interpretations are thoroughly checked by investigating the small print, highlighting the footnotes, and decrypting brackets, functions and other socio-political mathematics.

The team has launched over 100 digital projects, often in partnership with other NGOs or individuals, whether in the form of short daily commentary, long-form research-based information, books, reports, collaborative journalism, interactive websites, web-based platforms, and even video games.

DNJD have received awards within the Slovenia designer/developer community, including the Brumen Award for its digital products in 2017. In 2019, it received the status of organisation of public interest from the Slovenian government.
