Financing journalism

Location: 
Official timetable established: Mexico City - ONLINE

Overnight, the journalism industry changed drastically. The economic crisis driven by the pandemic has been an opportunity for the media to regain the eroded trust of its readers, but it has also become a perfect storm, adding to the pre-existing structural difficulties of the media to guarantee a sustainable business model in the digital age.

The call for help that has been launched to keep journalism alive during and after the crisis has found new funders and ideas on how to support the important mission of the media: state aid, patronage models, technology platforms. Each solution carries its own opportunities and risks.
