Source title: Hvem tør skrive de kritiske historier?

Text version dated 6 Dec 2024

Hvem tør skrive de kritiske historier? "Dermed er det fortsat vigtigt for JFM-medierne at trække tæppet væk under magthavere, der misbruger magten ude i lokalsamfundene." – Peter Orry Er det Danfoss-ejeren Jørgen Mads Clausens kartelsag og bøde – en af Danmarks største? Eller måske forureningsskandalen på Als, der trænger til at blive gransket? Og hvad med hans holdning til ytringsfrihed?

Spørgsmålet er, om medier som JFM har modet til at tage fat dér, hvor tæppet virkelig skal trækkes væk under magthaverne. Men måske er det ikke kun industrigiganter, der skal undersøges. Hvad med historierne om en kreativ avisformand, der over årtier har udnyttet systemet til egen fordel – eller den mystiske sag om Valmet-traktorer, købt med statsstøtte til eksport, men gemt i lader i Danmark og solgt herhjemme?

Her på siden kommer vi i 2025 til at løfte sløret for flere af landsdelens kreative folk og det, flere vil kalde spektakulære svindelsager. Det bliver spændende at se, om myndighederne fortsat kigger den anden vej. Hvis nogen kender til disse kreative folks måde at bøje reglerne på, hører vi meget gerne fra jer.

Samtidig kan man spørge sig selv: Er journalistens ord blot noget, der er skrevet for at få flere penge ud af endnu en fond? Læs selv med og bedøm. https://journalisten.dk/jfm-vil-saette-skub-i-sin-konstruktive-journalistik/

Who dares to write the critical stories?

"Thus, it remains important for the JFM media to pull the rug away from those in power who abuse power in local communities."
– Peter Orry

Is it Danfoss owner Jørgen Mads Clausen's cartel case and fine - one of Denmark's biggest? Or perhaps the pollution scandal at Als that needs to be investigated? And what about his stance on free speech?

The question is whether media such as JFM have the courage to take hold where the rug really needs to be pulled from under those in power. But perhaps it is not just industrial giants that need to be investigated. What about the stories of a creative newspaper chairman who over decades has exploited the system to his own advantage - or the mysterious case of Valmet tractors, bought with state aid for export, but stored in warehouses in Denmark and sold at home?

On this page, we in 2025 will lift the veil on several of the region's creative people and what many would call spectacular fraud cases. It will be interesting to see if the authorities continue to look the other way. If anyone knows about these creative people's way of bending the rules, we'd love to hear from you.

At the same time, one can ask oneself: Are the journalist's words just something written to get more money out of yet another fund? Read along and judge for yourself.

JFM will boost its constructive journalism Media house JFM must not only be critical, but also constructive in its approach to creating fair, informative and debate-generating journalism. This is evident from the publisher's declaration that all media under JFM signed last year. And the latest addition to that agenda is a million dollar donation from Aarhus Stiftstidendes Fond of six million kroner, which in a collaboration [...]
