Four organisations will receive funding in 2024 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 Media Challenge Fund is used for the purposes of generating media engagement on important global developments relevant to Ireland, arising, inter alia, from global challenges, and Irish foreign policy priorities.
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.
Previous funding rounds resulted in grant awards for three organisations, namely RTÉ , Virgin Media Television, and The Journal. Four further submissions have been granted funding for one year, for 2024 as follows:
• Reach Media - € 100,000
• The Business Post - € 100,000
• Bauer Media - € 55,000
• The Examiner - € 100,000
