What?
This Call aims to increase reporting on EU affairs from pan-European viewpoints and/or by comparing different viewpoints from within Europe. To do so, it stimulates the production of innovative content through data-driven research and visualisations and the distribution of such content to as many EU citizens as possible.
In line with this objective, applicants should describe their approach to content production (increased coverage) and to content distribution (increased reach).
Objective 1 – Content production
To engage citizens in the EU policy-making process, it is essential to provide information on EU affairs that is characterised by independent, professional and high-quality reporting. This Call aims to increase the production of content that adheres to these principles and that uses new technologies to maximise audiences. Content can for instance make use of data research, visualise data to compare viewpoints across Europe, help audiences understand complex topics through clear and factual reporting, contextualise story timelines and/or encourage interaction with the audience.
Expected results include increased coverage of EU affairs in terms of volume and quality. The content of such increased coverage will depend on the editorial choice of the applicants. Proposals are free to indicate whether the focus will be on daily news and/or on more in-depth background reporting on current affairs.
Objective 2 – Content distribution
To reach a maximum number of audiences, this Call aims for maximum republication of content in media outlets and distribution channels (e.g., social media) across the EU. To do so, proposals need to contain a clear outreach plan and the content production process will need to take into account the needs of partners and potential partners from the outset.
Expected results include increased reporting on EU affairs by media across the EU, from pan-European viewpoints and/or by comparing different viewpoints from within Europe.
