In February, we shared the first 128 recipients of the Digital News Initiative Innovation Fund, our €150 million commitment over the next three years to supporting innovation in the European news industry, and we’re excited to see those projects get underway this summer. Today, we’re thrilled to open the Fund for a second round of applications which will be accepted through July 11th.
The goal of the Fund is simple, if ambitious: to spark new thinking, which could come from anywhere in the news ecosystem, to give news organizations – of all sizes – the space to try some new things with no-strings-attached awards.
