In 2017, journalists Petra Sorge, Julia Wadhawan, and Sunaina Kumar collaborated on an investigative report about silicosis, a deadly lung disease affecting Indian mine workers. Their work, published in multiple international outlets, highlighted the health risks faced by miners and the connection to European imports. The collaboration overcame cultural barriers and reached diverse audiences, leading to significant industry impact, including initiatives by IGEP and Xertifix to improve working conditions. The project underscored the importance of local expertise in cross-border journalism.
