Scope
Scope: The news media sectors play a crucial role in the diversity, independence and trustworthiness of the information space. Despite being essential to our democracies, these sectors are facing multiple challenges. The economic sustainability of professional journalism has come under pressure, partially as a result of the digital transformation, with readers shifting to online sources and traditional news outlets losing advertising revenues. Many media at the local level as well as those focusing on public interest mission news struggle to survive, which may weaken media pluralism as well as engagement and trust in democracy. In line with the European Democracy Shield, this call addresses media challenges and opportunities of a transnational nature by supporting projects specialising in: Topic 1. “Journalism Partnerships - Collaborations” This topic seeks to help the wider European news media sector become more sustainable and resilient, including small media. Support is foreseen for collaborative projects in and between any news media (sub)sector and/or genre that aim to enhance cooperation, help media adapt to new economic and consumption realities and instil systemic change across that (sub)sector. Priorities Projects must focus on ways to develop collaborative transformation, from a business, technological and/or production point of view. Projects can aim to develop, inter alia, better revenue and monetisation models, strategies to mutualise costs, new approaches to audience development, community-building and marketing, development of common professional/technical standards, new types of newsrooms, syndication networks or other models to exchange content/data between news media across the EU or provide assistance to small media organisations. They can aim to increase efficiency and the quality of reporting through innovative journalistic collaborations. Projects can test innovative production methods and formats or contribute to high-quality media production standards in other collaborative ways. Projects can aim to increase exchanges of best practices among journalists and optimise workflows for those journalism genres requiring more time and resources. Projects can also aim to reskill or upskill media professionals, in particular with a view of enhancing skills related to the use of new technologies such AI systems for journalism. Proposals may address one or more of the priorities outlined above, if relevant and based on the needs analysis of the chosen (sub)sector. The proposal should provide this needs analysis and explain how the proposed ac…
Get told when something changes
Most institutions find out about a call with three weeks left. We write when something opens, moves or closes that fits what you work on, with the deadline, the fit and the funder's own exclusion clauses quoted. Nothing in a quiet week. Free, and one click to leave.
Starting from the programme you are reading: Creative Europe Programme (CREA) — change it below if you like.
Leave the second box empty and you get whatever opened or changed recently, closing soonest. Fill it in and it ranks against your words instead: that is the difference between a list and a shortlist.
Scientific Network Management will send you the current list for these terms, and after that only what changes: a call that opens, a deadline that shifts, a clause that rules you out. Nothing is sent when nothing has moved. One click to stop, in every message.
One confirmation email and nothing else until you click it. No tracking pixels, no sharing, one click to unsubscribe.

A funding strategy reads your institution's own published record against the calls that are open, and says in writing which are worth the year and which to decline, with the reason for each.
