Hostwriter is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization that serves as an open network to help journalists to easily collaborate across borders. It connects journalists for the purpose of seeking and offering help, whether in the form of story collaboration, local advice or accommodation. Hostwriter was founded in Hamburg, Germany, in 2013 by German journalists Tamara Anthony, Tabea Grzeszyk and Sandra Zistl. Because these co-founders knew the difficulties journalists faced when trying to network across their city, or even their country, they built a platform that would make it easier.

  • Hostwriter is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization that serves as an open network to help journalists to easily collaborate across borders. It connects journalists for the purpose of seeking and offering help, whether in the form of story collaboration, local advice or accommodation. Hostwriter was founded in Hamburg, Germany, in 2013 by German journalists Tamara Anthony, Tabea Grzeszyk and Sandra Zistl. Because these co-founders knew the difficulties journalists faced when trying to network across their city, or even their country, they built a platform that would make it easier. The idea for the organization grew from co-founder Tabea Grzeszyk's experience using CouchSurfing for her trip to Turkey, Lebanon and Syria in 2010. She thought it would be useful if a journalist covering a story could not just travel to a different region or country, but could, at the same time, make contact with local journalists who could answer questions and make the research process easier or add a local perspective to the research. Co-founder Tamara Anthony says the key idea is that journalists "collaborate rather than compete," and that through collaboration, journalists can serve "as a door opener" for colleagues from outside their region. Co-founder Sandra Zistl said the network is especially important to independent journalists and documentary filmmakers, particularly in countries without a "journalistic infrastructure" that ensures the freedom of the press. The organization's office is located in Berlin, and the platform itself has more than 3,800 journalists from 136 countries worldwide (as of November 2018). (en)
