Just back from the International Journalism Festival in #Perugia and really excited to see the creation of local and national funds to support journalism worldwide. It's great to see bold initiatives being taken to redress the power imbalances between platforms and independent media and between the global North and South. So excited that Brazil is part of this. Check out the discussion by Maia Fortes, Roby Alampay, Sameer Padania, and Anya Schiffrin on how to build efficient mechanisms to give media organizations more direct access to funding through local coalitions, multilateral cooperations, or national public policies. bit.ly/3JDTv22 Also, check out the 'Decolonizing media development' session https://bit.ly/3QlgiU1 in which Nishant Lalwani highlighted how media development has been undersupported in international development policies with only 0.3% of development funds destined for media development. As much as we need principles and agreements by international organizations, to see a real shift in media development power, as put by Christine Mungai, organizations in the global south need direct access to resources to fund their impactful work. And that means that intermediary organizations in the north that have been concentrating the international funds for media development for a long time need to commit and let go of their power: “Funding to do impactful work is really scarce. What’s abundant is training, mentorships, fellowships, capacity building, and that assumes the media ecosystem in a place like Kenya needs help to develop. The reality is that we’re there, we’re doing the work, we understand the landscape. What we don’t have is just money, and money is not expertise or knowledge. Money does not come with any insight or wisdom or even information. It really annoys me that folks with money assume that they know things. But money is not knowledge.” bit.ly/3QlgiU1 #MediaDev

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