Journalism Partnerships Call: European News Pitch Partner Matching

In recent years, Creative Europe launched a number of cross sector calls for projects dedicated to the news sector. By encouraging cooperation between print and online media organisations these schemes enable players in the European news media landscape to get together and work on joint collaborations.

Supported project aims can include tackling misinformation, audience development, new business models, collaborative practices, skills development, support for local media and investigative journalism.

The Creative Europe Desks invite organisations to share their news project proposals in a Pitching session to facilitate transnational partner matching which will take place on 11th December.
