Alliance magazine 15d ago

The past year has heightened long-existing anxieties for journalism, media, and the wider information landscape. The withdrawal of overseas aid by powerful nations has coincided with questions around the role of philanthropy and independent media. What is beyond the world of funding project-based initiatives? Multiple reservoirs of hope are fast emerging beyond Europe's borders; from locally-led pooled funds gaining a foothold across the world, to independent media diversifying revenue streams while working to serve local communities to frontline independent media beyond the English-speaking world, philanthropy’s role in reshaping the media and information ecosystem has never been greater. Bringing Global Majority voices to Berlin, Alliance magazine will explore what sustainable, long-term funding looks like and how public interest media can thrive when reimagined along with philanthropy. Featuring: Sameer Padania Global expert and advisor on policy, practice and funding for independent journalism Alia Ibrahim Journalist; co-founder and CEO of Daraj, Lebanon Carolina Oms Director of Sustainability and Communications, Brazilian Journalism Fund
