Our Topics
Since 2017, it has been Policyinstitute.net’s mission to deliver meaningful articles and analyses, official documents, audio, and video pieces, on a daily basis. As showcased on our five websites, they chiefly treat digital communication and technology, societal questions, as well as – with regard to the Sahel region – capacity building. In practice, most of the formats are either analytical reports, current affairs articles, and documents on matters of principle focusing on civic, soft counter-extremism and related topics – e.g. means to impede hate speech and ways to avoid dis-/misinformation. Quite importantly, Policyinstitute.net’s contributions often include actionable recommendations.
The Network
Our founder, Thorsten Koch, MA, PgDip, supervises a number of volunteers who have been contributing analyses about the above-mentioned topics. Quite importantly, thus far, Koch has distributed more than 18k posts on LinkedIn to a network of now more than 7.6k followers and connections, and has also been filing a bi-weekly digest under the umbrella of Policyinstitute.net. On a good day, Koch’s LinkedIn posts reach over 2k views.
Journalism At Its Best
The content distributed by Policyinstitute.net first requires monitoring and researching reliable sources, gatekeeping, as well as editing. Due to the fact that these endeavors are all about objectivity, our work does not constitute public relations. We do not work for any particular client, nor do we sell the content which we provide access to. Rather, Policyinstitute.net’s LinkedIn operations constitute fully-fledged journalism in the near – and in the premier – sense.
