We selected these newsrooms from among 115 media outlets that applied for the Strategic Media Support Program in December. The amount of financial support provided within the project is USD 2,000 per newsroom.
Media outlets plan to use the funding, for example, to increase brand visibility, develop brand books, and обновити visual identity across their communications. To attract new audiences and diversify revenue streams, some teams intend to publish print magazines, develop merchandise, and organize public events. Others plan to engage specialists to implement AI tools, optimize website performance, and improve newsroom operations.
The Strategic Media Support Program is a long-term support initiative of Lviv Media Forum aimed at fostering media growth. The program focuses on the implementation of strategic plans that enable media organizations to strengthen their capacity, develop and scale projects, operate more effectively, diversify and expand revenue sources, improve content quality, enrich formats, and reach wider audiences.
This project is implemented within the Strategic Media Support Program with the support of National Endowment for Democracy (NED).
