Two organisations will receive funding under the Department of Foreign Affairs Global Ireland Media Challenge Fund.
The Fund aims to increase knowledge, understanding and citizen engagement in global issues, in the context of the government’s Global Ireland Programme - growing our footprint, impact and influence in the world. By building the capacity of media outlets, the Fund will support the provision of public information about major geo-political developments and the changing nature of Ireland’s role in the world across a range of topics and geographical regions.
The objective of the fund is to support the provision of information about major geo-political developments and the changing nature of Ireland’s role in the world, to the public in Ireland, by helping build the capacity of Irish media outlets to undertake international reporting, while maintaining editorial independence.
Complete editorial independence is a core principle of the Fund.
See the terms of reference of the Fund.
An Expert Advisory Panel was established to provide independent expertise, and to help ensure good governance through informed decision making on all applications.
Two organisations have been granted funding for two years (2024 – 2025) as follows:
• The Journal - €103k p/a
• Virgin Media - €200k p/a
