Journal B is a local, independent, non-profit online media outlet covering the city of Bern. Its founders wanted to create an alternative to the two major local newspapers and contribute to local media pluralism.
Since 2012, Journal B has covered political, cultural, and everyday life topics that concern the people in and around Bern. Instead of providing daily information and breaking news, its newsroom produces independent, in-depth reporting pieces and tells stories that open up new perspectives on what is happening locally.
The multimedia content can be seen exclusively online. According to the organisation, starting as a digital medium was natural for financial reasons, but it has also been an opportunity to experiment with new multimedia formats.
The non-profit association Trägerverein Journal B owns the media outlet. Its financial resources come primarily from voluntary memberships, donations, and philanthropic grants.
