‘Gazeta Wyborcza’ is to launch Sonar Europe with other European dailies

Editors of ‘Gazeta Wyborcza’ are joining forces with the teams of ‘Le Soir’, ‘Le Figaro’ and ‘El Pais’ to develop a new media project called Sonar Europe. The cooperation, initiated in March, will result in attractive multimedia data-based materials related to a variety of subjects and presenting diverse points of view from different countries of the European Union. Materials under the brand of Sonar Europe will be published in the four languages of the project creators, in both paper and digital editions of the dailies.

Sonar Europe is a shared project by the editors of ‘Gazeta Wyborcza’, ‘Le Soir’ (Belgium), ‘Le Figaro’ (France) and ‘El País’ (Spain), members of the prestigious European association LENA.

Within the framework of activities planned for two years, the editorial teams of the newspapers will prepare journalistic content presenting various issues relating to all 28 countries of the European Union. The publications will include, among others, in-depth multimedia pan-European studies as well as shorter articles and infographics focused on a given country or region. All publications will be based on data from areas such as health, the economy, society, politics and education. The idea of the project’s creators is to use a unique strategy for publishing content in order for articles under the Sonar Europe brand to reach a broad group of readers from all over Europe.

Journalistic materials created within the framework of the project will be available through the websites of the four partners, in four languages. In Poland, they will be published at BiQdata.wyborcza.pl w sekcji Sonar_Europe. Other LENA newspapers and other interested media will be able to use and publish the content.

‘European roads are still dangerous. And pedestrians in Poland are unprotected’ by Bartosz Chyż, and ‘Europe goes to space. Where do we rank in the global race for the stars?’ by Katarzyna Korzeniowska and Stanisław Dudzik are the first materials from ‘Gazeta Wyborcza’ to have been created under the project. They are already available at BiQdata.wyborcza.pl. New articles are soon to come.

Another objective of the Sonar Europe project is to encourage other media across Europe to share their knowledge and experience. Its creators are going to educate European editors, for example, in using data and creating attractive publications on their basis. The planned initiatives include workshops and both online and offline seminars for professionals from various media and interested in working with data about Europe.

‘Gazeta Wyborcza’ is the leader of the project and in 2017 it launched a similar project: Sonar.Wyborcza.pl – a modern website that analyses the world and actions of politicians in the news, with both numbers and diagrams.

For the Polish daily, the unit responsible for Sonar Europe will be the data department that manages the BiQdata.wyborcza.pl and Sonar.Wyborcza.pl portals.

Activities within the framework of the Sonar Europe project will be carried out until February 2021. The project is co-financed by the Directorate-General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology (DG CONNECT) of the European Commission.
