Objective of the call for proposals
The core objective of the call is to contribute to increased production and consumption of plural and independent information on European affairs across the European Union, and in the longer term a larger engagement of people in the EU with European news and affairs, increased levels of trust in media and an informed public debate.
Content of the proposals
To do so, this call proposes to support news media organisations and organisations active in the media sector to form or develop European-level media hubs (such as virtual or physical newsrooms). These would produce and disseminate pluralistic and appealing news media content (possibly including other informative, non-fictional and factual programming) on European affairs across Europe. Applicants are invited to make content available in as many European languages as possible (with a minimum of 5 official EU languages). The grant agreement will include a charter of independence to make sure that applicants are editorially free and operate without any political interference.
