How to make a living producing long-form journalism

An editor and a photographer working for legacy media, Elena Stancu and Cosmin Bumbut quit their jobs in 2013. They moved to a second-hand campervan and travelled around Europe to tell the stories of underreported communities. Their reporting focused on extreme poverty, domestic violence, life in prisons, discrimination, and Roma communities in the diaspora.

In this video, Elena and Cosmin share more about their editorial approach, storytelling ways and how they make a living producing long-form journalism.

This session was part of the News Impact Summit in Prague, organised by the European Journalism Centre and powered by Google News Initiative.
