About us
Zaborona Media is an independent edition about society and culture.
We talk about social challenges, freedoms, and security boundaries, about people who stand up for fundamental rights and change how the world can be organized. We talk about what others are silent about.
Zaborona includes reports, investigations, documentary video projects, comics, and multimedia formats (podcasts, visual stories). We advocate for our audience, and our stories influence social processes.
Who finances us?
Zaborona has a transparent funding model comprising contributions from readers on Patreon, grants from international organizations, and partnerships. Open Society Foundation, Free Press Unlimited, National Endowment for Democracy, and Journalismfund.eu support the editorial office.
We are community-focused media. We believe it is necessary to stand up for our audience, and our stories influence social processes.
