AlgorithmWatch — program: Algorithmic Accountability Reporting Fellowship (5th cohort 2025-2026): 8 European journalists/researchers, EUR 7,400 each, 6-month investigation with editorial support and mentorship
2 evidence checks from 1 unique source
Last checked: 3/30/2026
The source explicitly states that the fifth cohort (2025-2026) consists of 'eight journalists and researchers,' not 'up to 6' as claimed. This is a direct contradiction regarding the number of fellows. The source also does not mention the EUR 7,400 figure per fellow, making that aspect unverifiable, but the cohort size is clearly contradicted by the source text which states eight fellows were welcomed.
