About Oštro

This is us.

Oštro is an independent, non‑profit digital media focused on investigative journalism in the public interest.

We monitor centres of power to strenghten the principles of transparency, accountability, and human rights in society. Our work is based on professional journalism, verified facts, transparent operations, and full editorial independence.

Oštro acts as a social and professional corrective. We don’t care for clickbait, sensationalism, or content that is not in the public interest. We develop future generations of journalists and thus contribute in the long term to preserving quality journalism in Slovenian media.

In our work, we are fearless yet consistent, ethical, and professional. We see the public as a key stakeholder in a democratic society.

Oštro, Guardians of the public interest.

Our work is based on professional journalism, verified facts, transparent operations, and full editorial independence.

The Red Line

Oštro is not for sale — not for money, nor influence, nor clicks. It has no list of untouchable individuals. It is uncompromising and radically transparent. It runs no advertisements. It doesn’t owe anything to anyone.

Oštro will exclusively serve the public interest and produce journalism that rejects both the agenda set by the traditional media and the false imperative to produce a constant stream of minor daily stories.

Oštro will collaborate with similar journalistic organizations.

Oštro will proactively reveal any actual or perceived conflicts of interest.

Oštro will not reveal its sources under any circumstances, and it will employ all available methods to ensure the highest possible confidentiality for its sources.

Oštro will conduct its business in a transparent and public manner. It will be financed from grants and from its own income. Oštro will be grateful for any donations — all of which will be used exclusively to advance its mission of excellent journalism.
