Coda Media is a nonprofit news organization that produces journalism about the roots of major global crises.[1] It was founded in 2016 by Natalia Antelava, a former BBC correspondent, and Ilan Greenberg, a magazine and newspaper writer who served as a staff reporter for The Wall Street Journal.[2]

As of 2024, the organization is led by Antelava, who serves as CEO and editor-in-chief, and overseen by a board of directors. Notable board members include Nicholas Dawes, the executive director of The City and former communications director for Human Rights Watch; and Maria Ressa, the Nobel Peace Prize-winning co-founder and CEO of Rappler. Peter Pomerantsev, a British journalist and TV producer, and Oliver Bullough, a British writer, are contributing editors.[3]

Coda has been focused on reporting on Russian disinformation campaigns.[4] Coda has created a documentary about the history of Soviet Gulag camps.[5]

Concept

Coda produces written stories, video reports, podcasts and newsletters focused on one major theme at a time in order to put "individual stories in the context of larger events."[6] According to Antelava, Coda aims to cover "crises in a way that creates a meaningful, cohesive narrative".[7] Coda covers many global issues, including disinformation, authoritarian technology, the war on science, and rewriting history. The site's first theme covered LGBT issues in Eastern Europe and Eurasia.[8]

Coda is an example of "pioneer journalism".[9]

Funding

Coda Media is a 501(c)(3) organization with offices in New York City and Tbilisi, Republic of Georgia. It is supported by foundation grants and private donations and has also experimented with crowd-funding.[10] [11] Coda Media has partnered with several newsrooms throughout Eurasia via the Coda Network, which received a grant of $180,130 from the National Endowment for Democracy.[12] [13] [14]
