The European Israel Press Association, an independent Israeli nonprofit that educates journalists about the reality on the ground in the Jewish state, already has offices in six European capitals: Berlin, Brussels, London, Madrid, Paris and Rome. And the 11-year-old organization is looking ahead to even more growth.

Yossi Lempkowicz, a senior media advisor at the nonprofit, told Zenger News that the EIPA hopes to establish offices in Eastern Europe and in Scandinavia. “We are also exploring opportunities in Croatia and other Eastern European nations, through our partnership with the European Jewish Association,” he said. (Lempkowicz is also editor-in-chief of European Jewish Press, a Zenger News subscriber.)
