17/06/24 (Agence Europe) – The European Commission is to allocate almost €10 million for digital and audio cross-border coverage of EU news. On Monday 17 June, two calls for projects were launched for the EU media. The first fund will provide €5 million for digital reporting and the second €4.5 million for audio reporting. Applications may be submitted by a single applicant or a consortium. The call for digital projects will fund two content dissemination projects, which must be available in at least six EU languages. Media organisations and technology developers are eligible. The second call is restricted to the news media, which will be asked to act as a sounding board for independent and preferably cross-border audio reports. The aim is to reach out to European citizens in countries where EU affairs receive less coverage. Further information: https://aeur.eu/f/cor; https://aeur.eu/f/cos (FS)
