What is Colmena?<\/span><\/i><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Colmena is a digital toolbox that gives journalists the possibility to produce and share content from their smartphones or other digital devices (computer\/laptop). The project was launched by DW Akademie and its media partners in 2021, initially as a response to the Covid-19 pandemic. But Colmena does not only help to remain productive during lockdowns at home: the toolbox can be used by journalists work in war conditions, work without a physical office structure, from temporary shelters or doing field reporting.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
