The European Commission has published the two invitations concerning the Journalism Partnerships. The calls are part of the Cross-Sectoral Strand of the Creative Europe Programme 2021-2027.
Specifically, the invitations are:
NEWS – Journalism Partnerships – Collaborations, which aim to help the wider European media sector become more sustainable and resilient, in particular by supporting cross-border media collaborations. This support will promote media transformation, reliable reporting and skills for media professionals, for example by developing media production standards and new business models. You will find more information HERE.
NEWS – Journalism Partnerships – Pluralism, Besides a purely economic aspect, independent media play a crucial and valuable role in societies and contribute to upholding the essential principles of media freedom and pluralism. This support seeks to protect news media sectors of special relevance to democracy and civic participation, such as local and regional media, community media, investigative journalism and organisations delivering public interest news. Support will target organisations with experience in media to put in cascading grants (i.e. regranting / support to third parties). More information HERE.
Deadline: February 14, 2024.
Those interested in participating can join the online info-session organized by EACEA on 6 December 2023.
