Creative Europe's Cross Sector call for News - Journalism Partnerships 2026 supports projects that address one of the following two topics:
Topic 1: Journalism Partnerships - Collaborations
This call supports the economical sustainability of news media. It supports cross-border media collaborations focusing, among other aspects, on the resilience of news media organisations. This support shall foster media transformation, trustworthy reporting and skills for news media professionals, for instance by developing new business models and media production standards.
Topic 2: Journalism Partnerships - Pluralism
Besides a purely economic aspect, independent media contribute to upholding the essential principles of media freedom and pluralism. This topic aims to protect news media sectors of special relevance to democracy and civic participation, such as local and regional media, community media, investigative journalism and organisations delivering public interest news. Support will target organisations with experience in media to put in cascading grants (i.e. regranting / support to third parties).
