Media actions

The EP is looking to co-finance media actions by news agencies television channels, radio stations, digital media and written press. Digital media includes both digital-only media and digital platforms of other media, including content creators that develop news reports and articles, interviews etc. to be distributed on social media platforms.

These media actions should have a two-fold objective:

1. Provide regular, reliable, pluralistic and non-partisan information on the political and legislative work of the European Parliament, including information on the implementation of EU legislation, emphasizing its implications in the European citizen’s daily lives. Actions can also include monitoring on the implementation of EU legislation.

1. Contribute to resilience in society against disinformation and information manipulation through awareness raising, fact-checking and media literacy.

Applicants must describe in detail in their proposals how they plan to fulfil this two-fold objective.

The potential reach, audience and impact of the action in terms of contributing to raise citizen’s awareness about the European Parliament, to ensure wide dissemination and geographical balance, are key criteria for awarding the grants.

The actions should be multi-platform with an integration of channels including innovative media and formats.

Applicants must prove their current levels of audience in their proposals.

Audience outside the 27 EU Member States will not be considered an asset.
