This series of publications, published by n-ost and FROH!, investigates the role of journalism.
For the first issue of SecondThoughts, the two media NGOs n-ost and FROH! brought together journalists, photographers, and photo editors from Eastern and Western Europe. The result was six moderated talks, two essays, and twelve outstanding photographs on terms that play a recurring role in current debates: patriotism, propaganda, fake news, and others.

The second issue will come out in May and will once again test different forms of reporting—both text-based and visual-based. The regional focus this time is Ukraine.
