EU supports cross-border journalism with €8 million

Seven consortia of news organisations will receive EU support for cross-border projects that aim to strengthen the news media sector.

Seven projects have been selected following the first call for proposals for Journalism Partnerships in 2021, as part of the NEWS initiative announced in the Media and Audiovisual Action Plan.

The 7 journalism partnership projects will be funded by Creative Europe. Their overall aim is to address structural challenges that the news media sector is facing, and help media become stronger in the face of digital transition and increased competition. They bring together multiple news media organisations to establish sector-wide networks for media professionals and focus on collaborative business transformation and/or collaborative journalistic projects. The winners were selected by independent experts evaluating 32 proposals from across Europe.
