Explained in plain English
What are media grants?
Media grants are financial awards given to journalists or news organisations to fund specific reporting projects, often those that are time-consuming or expensive, like the investigation into AI-generated far-right videos. They help ensure important stories get told, especially when traditional funding for in-depth journalism is scarce.
