The Commission will launch a Media Resilience Programme to shore up independent journalism and fight “news deserts.” It will finance local and investigative outlets, cross-border collaborations, safety of journalists, and media literacy, with a budget uplift in the next MFF. The programme will also mobilise private capital (using EU guarantees and blended-finance tools) to sustain viable business models for media and digital transition. It will work with the European Democracy Shield and the European Centre for Democratic Resilience to detect and counter disinformation and foreign interference, while strengthening pluralism, transparency, and citizens’ access to trustworthy information across EU languages.
