Coda Media is a nonprofit news organization that produces journalism about the roots of major global crises.[1] It was founded in 2016 by Natalia Antelava, a former BBC correspondent, and Ilan Greenberg, a magazine and newspaper writer who served as a staff reporter for The Wall Street Journal.[2] As of 2024, the organization is led by Antelava, who serves as CEO and editor-in-chief, and overseen by a board of directors. Notable board members include Nicholas Dawes, the executive director of The City and former communications director for Human Rights Watch; and Maria Ressa, the Nobel Peace Prize-winning co-founder and CEO of Rappler. Peter Pomerantsev, a British journalist and TV producer, and Oliver Bullough, a British writer, are contributing editors.[3] Coda has been focused on reporting on Russian disinformation campaigns.[4] Coda has created a documentary about the history of Soviet Gulag camps.[5]

Concept

Coda is an example of "pioneer journalism".[6]

Funding

Coda Media is a 501(c)(3) organization with offices in New York City and Tbilisi, Republic of Georgia. It is supported by foundation grants and private donations and has also experimented with crowd-funding.[7][8] Coda Media has partnered with several newsrooms throughout Eurasia via the Coda Network, which received a grant of $180,130 from the National Endowment for Democracy.[9][10][11][non-primary source needed]

Awards

The organization and its contributors have won several awards throughout the last decade:[12]

  • In 2023, Anna-Catherine Brigida's report for Coda about the surveillance state in Honduras won first prize in the 2023 Fetisov Journalism Awards in the category of Contribution to Civil Rights.[13]
  • In 2022, Peter Pomerantsev was given the European Press Prize's Public Discourse Award for his piece exploring why certain news events fail to capture sustained public attention.[14]
  • In 2022, Coda was the winner of the Online News Association's award for explantory reporting conducted by a small newsroom for the report "Germany’s historical reckoning is a warning for the US" by Erica Hellerstein. The judges described the report as a "masterful storytelling" and "a thorough, devastating piece and poignant analysis of who must carry these stories and who has the privilege/shame/guilt to avoid or bury them."[15]
  • In 2020, Isobel Cockerell won the European Press Prize's Distinguished Reporting Award for her report on Uyghur women fighting against China’s surveillance state.[16]

  • Third prize for the 2023 True Story Award for Katia Patin's piece "Poland’s ministry of memory spins the Holocaust."[19]
  • Shortlisted for the 2023 Woollahra Digital Literary Award for Alexander Wells' report on Australian memory politics.[20]
