> Given that 1) we have been asked by the Commission to explicitly make sure we make data journalists more visible, and engage with them 2) we have some seed money to help 8 events be successful (total budget 4000 Euro), I would be in favor of giving them a couple of hundred Euro to be able to bring some eastern European journalist who cannot pay his/her own way.
