This call aims at funding a project to enhance the production, curation and dissemination of professional and multilingual news media content (as well as informative, non-fictional programming) around EU affairs, in at least five Union languages, across one or several European delivery platform models.

A joint editorial production system should allow for curating and spreading of existing and new content that goes beyond national perspectives, which requires close cooperation of several media actors to share content and make it available to audiences across borders. The content should be consistently reachable in as many Union countries as possible.

The aim is to increase the variety of news, informative content (and, potentially, programming) with a pan-European perspective available to citizens, by enhancing crossborder collaboration between news media actors. The content should have a general interest approach, i.e. covering current affairs and topics relevant to the daily lives of European citizens.
 Applicants are encouraged to develop news hubs under sound editorial standards and oversights over the production and curation of content. In line with these general objectives, applicants will need to show how their proposal would contribute to strengthening the European information media space (beyond purely national markets) and to ensuring that citizens receive pluralistic quality information from diverse multicultural and multilingual sources.
