Connecting Continents, a pilot project by Journalismfund.eu in collaboration with Oxfam Novib is seeking applications from journalists to provide them with grants.
The program supports teams of journalists from several countries working out of each their country on a common story thus compiling multiple research competences and safeguarding publication to various audiences. It occasionally supports individual journalists working on European stories.
Journalismfund.eu operates as a firewall between the funders and the journalists, making sure that there is a strict division between where the money comes from and where it goes to safeguard the independence of participating journalists and media
