The Parliament’s media grants programme, managed by the Directorate-General for Communication, plays a strategic role in reinforcing the visibility and understanding of the European Parliament’s work across the Union, which is essential for its functioning and a healthy European democracy.
These grants are awarded to media organisations based in the 27 EU Member States with the aim of supporting the production of regular, reliable and impartial information about the European Parliament, its Members, and its activities.
The programme fosters a pluralistic and inclusive media environment, while fully upholding the editorial independence of all beneficiaries.
Grants are allocated through open calls for proposals, published on the European Parliament’s webpage dedicated to grants.
Grant beneficiaries retain full editorial independence, including in the themes, title and frame chosen and must ensure adherence to the EU’s core values as stated in Article 2 of the Treaty on the European Union, guaranteeing freedom from public or private pressure in all editorial matters.
