Who?

The News Equity Fund is open to small and medium-sized news organizations producing original news for underrepresented communities.

Eligible Geographies: Click here

What?

The aim is to strengthen inclusion, further empower a diverse news ecosystem, and specifically support small and medium sized publishers creating original journalism for underrepresented audiences around the world.

Eligibility

  • Small and medium-sized news organizations producing original news for underrepresented audiences;
  • The News Equity Fund is open to independent newsrooms employing between 1 – 50 full time journalists (FTE);
  • Eligible applicants may include for-profit or non-profit traditional news organizations, digital natives, newsletters, podcasts, radio and/or TV broadcasters, and trade press associations whose members cover underrepresented groups;
  • Eligible applicants should publish journalistic content regularly;
  • Eligible applicants need to have a focus on core news provision, i.e. not lifestyle, sports.
  • Eligible applicants must have a verifiable digital presence (such as a website primarily providing journalistic content) and have been in full operation for at least 12 months.
  • Incorporated or registered associations or organizations, registered academic or non-profit bodies representing underrepresented journalists and organizations are all eligible to apply as long as you are based in one of the eligible geographies.
  • Government-owned entities or entities affiliated/owned by a political party are not eligible to apply;
  • Each publication/title may submit one application (i.e. one per newsroom). Multiple applications from different publications/titles within the same company/publishing group are eligible;
  • Note: Google reserves the right to cap any funding amounts at a company/publishing group level in the interest of assuring funding is disbursed as widely as possible.

 

To be eligible for funding from the Program, a Project must:

  1. be in a pre-launch phase (for example, at a design or prototype stage and not live);
  2. require funding for 12 months or less; and
  3. relate to or promote the development of the online news industry with a focus on news output.

Funding

Funds will be disbursed in one installment. Funding amounts will vary depending on the size of the newsroom and number of eligible applications received.

Initial selection of proposals will be done by teams of Google staff who have knowledge and experience in digital publishing and journalism in the regions detailed above.

Google will also work with established third-party organizations to further confirm our selections.

Applicants will then be contacted by email and offered funding before being asked to sign a funding agreement with Google. Selected applicants will then be required to enroll with our designated payment provider in order to receive the funding.

During the review process, applicants may be asked to provide additional details to verify and/or clarify information provided.
