At the intersection of global philanthropy and service journalism, programs such as the International Fund for Public Interest Media, Report for the World, and the Media Development Investment Fund are building new pathways for philanthropic support of the free press outside the West.

Join this important conversation about the role philanthropy-supported news plays, and the opportunities funders see in centering their work in emerging markets.

This session is designed for:

  • Funders and leaders looking to better understand the state of play in emerging markets
  • Journalists concerned about proliferating, global attacks on the free press
  • Anyone interested in philanthropy-backed public service journalism
