The Proposal

Creating a sustainable future for public interest journalism

Public interest journalism plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy democracy, holding power to account, and ensuring informed citizenship. It does so by providing essential information, promoting transparency, and combating misinformation. However, it faces significant challenges across Europe, including threats to press freedom, economic instability, and political pressure.

Creating a sustainable future for the area is not just about funding – it also includes infrastructure, political support, capacity building and public engagement. This is all discussed in the whitepaper “Reframing Public Interest Journalism in Europe”, which concludes the Journalism Value Project.
