Luxembourg (Europe)

A former Luxemburger Wort journalist is to co-found a multilingual online investigative journalism media, expected to go live in the coming weeks.

Christoph Bumb, who was a political journalist with the national newspaper for over five years, announced the digital magazine project during a radio discussion broadcast by 100,7 on Sunday 1 October.

“It will focus on critical, in-depth, investigative journalism,” Bumb told Delano on Monday, adding: “We will step back and focus on the bigger stories and not just deliver the same news that many media outlets do.”

The journalist further explained the project would be developed in the early stages by three journalists, a team that could rise to five within the first 12 months. The investigations and in-depth articles would initially be published in German; however Bumb said the goal will be to publish in languages which people understand in Luxembourg. “It will mostly be German and French but I wouldn’t exclude articles on specific topics that will be treated in English,” he explained.
