The European Commission has launched a call for proposals with a budget of €7.4 million to support independent reporting on EU affairs by European-level newsrooms.

As the need for a European public sphere debate remains pressing, this call offers support to media that wish to report together on European affairs and offer Europeans a cross-border perspective on current events.

Funding will be awarded for 2 to 4 projects, to start early 2026 for a period of 24 months, focusing on the production and curation of news and factual programming. The deadline for application is 29 September.

This is the second call to support such hubs of media, after a successful start in 2022 and the development of three media projects. This call for proposals is part of the Multimedia Actions, funding general EU information, news and programmes for the public from a European perspective.
