Independent public interest journalism in the Global Majority is under threat. Civic space is contracting. Media economics are fragile. The information landscape is being reshaped faster than most organisations can adapt. And the organisations closest to the communities that most need quality journalism are the ones least resourced to respond.
We believe this moment requires long-term investment in ecosystems, shared capacity, and local relationships that allow independent journalism to survive shocks, seize opportunities, and build something durable.
To achieve this, we are building ecosystems of support around entrepreneurial, public interest media, providing the networks, common infrastructure, and flexible mechanisms that allow emerging, promising, and pivoting organisations to access the expertise and capital they need.
