Journalism's economic crisis grows ever deeper for thousands of media globally, and worse hit are those in the majority world. Following a two-year deep dive into regional perspectives in Latin America, Middle East, Africa and Asia, this panel discusses where's the money? Four regional experts will bring contextual insights into new forms of funding, financing and investment for public interest media. Needs, challenges, gaps and recommendations will be mapped. The question isn’t whether interventions are needed in the economic resilience of media, but how this support should be structured. We shed new light on what it will take to deliver a sustainable and independent industry that truly delivers journalism as a public good.
Hear from Ross Settles, an independent researcher focused on Asia media business models; Roby Alampay, an award-winning journalist in the Philippines who has also made his name in independent media development throughout Southeast Asia; Janine Warner, co-founder and executive director of SembraMedia; and moderator Daily Maverick CEO Styli Charalambous.
Organised in association with International Media Support.
