WB6 MEDIA: Support to Media Freedom and Pluralism in the Western Balkans

GIZ, in partnership with Internews and DW Akademie, proudly announces the call for applications for the "EmpowerMedia Program," aimed at bolstering media freedom and pluralism in the Western Balkans. Funded by the European Union and the German Government, this initiative invites innovative media organizations from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo*, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia to apply for grants to develop new media business ideas. Targeting forward-thinking media enterprises ready to explore pioneering business models and embrace digital integration, the program seeks to enhance the economic viability and independence of the media sector. Through supporting creative collaborations and digital innovations, "EmpowerMedia" aims to foster sustainable growth and a more diverse media landscape in the Western Balkans, ensuring the media's critical role in society is both preserved and strengthened.
