In reality\, it often means long months in front of a scree n\, reading PDFs\, analysing spreadsheets\, chasing documents\, and trying to make sense of systems that are designed to stay opaque. But as politic s\, industry\, and environmental crises increasingly cross borders\, one k ind of reporting has become more important than ever: cross-border collabo rative investigations. In this talk\, investigative journalist Jose Miguel Calatayud takes us behind the scenes of that kind of work through the sto ry of the Forever Lobbying Project — a major 2025 collaboration that bro ught together 46 journalists and 29 media outlets from 16 European countri es to investigate the corporate campaign against a proposed EU restriction on PFAS\, also known as “forever chemicals.” PFAS are used in everyth ing from cookware and food packaging to waterproof textiles\, electronics\ , and industrial machinery. They are also almost indestructible\, which me ans they build up in water\, soil\, animals\, and our bodies — and have been linked to serious illnesses including cancer. While governments debat ed how to regulate them\, the investigation followed two intertwined stori es: the scale and cost of PFAS pollution in Europe\, and the lobbying effo rt aimed at weakening or delaying restrictions. Using this investigation a s a case study\, the session will explore how journalists across countries work together for months\, collaborate with scientists\, obtain and analy se data\, coordinate publication across dozens of outlets\, and turn somet hing almost invisible — toxic chemicals and corporate influence — into a story the public can actually see and understand.
