What is Impact Journalism Day?

Every year more than 50 leading media from across the world simultaneously publish articles on 60 inspiring social and environmental projects with a strong positive impact. Through these publications, more than 120 million readers are able to discover existing innovative solutions worldwide that respond to contemporary issues.
