2018 CMDS Summer School on "Funding Journalism in the Digital Age"

The Center for Media, Data and Society at the School of Public Policy of Central European University invites applications to its practice-based 2018 summer course on "Funding Journalism in the Digital Age" to be held at Central European University, Budapest, Hungary on July 2-6, 2018.

The biggest challenge to media freedom and independent journalism today is the systemic political corruption in which private interests shape the decision-making process in state bodies and institutions. Increasingly, a model of captive, politically instrumentalized news media financed by owners, corporations, social and political groups, or governments, is becoming dominant in most parts of the world. This has significant consequences on independent media and journalism.

Probably the most severe crisis journalism has been facing in the past decade is the funding crisis. The old business model in journalism has collapsed. News media outlets are feverishly testing subscription and membership models alongside with new advertising models. They increasingly rely on funding from philanthropies to keep doing public service journalism, which is not commercially viable.

The aim of this practice-based course is to provide participants (journalists and media practitioners, and researchers and academics writing about these issues) with in-depth understanding of the main changes in funding journalism, including the key areas of growth and the fastest expanding players in media and journalism as well as the role funding plays in capturing independent media.

In order to maximize the output and opportunities for participants the course will have a maximum of 20 participants.

The tuition fee for the summer course is EUR 550. Early bird participants pay EUR 500.
