NEW MEDIA
The use and study of media is dedicated to strengthening independent journalism, amplifying underrepresented voices, and promoting informed public dialogue across the European and Baltic region. In a time when media can divide or unite, we believe in the power of honest, creative storytelling to foster understanding, resilience, and democratic values. From human rights to grassroots activism, youth culture to social entrepreneurship, our content breaks stereotypes and focuses on real people making a difference. Our programs empower new journalists and youth with tools, mentorship, and experience to navigate a complex media landscape while producing compelling, socially engaged content. Since 2017, we've brought together over 100 young and professional journalists from Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, Belarus, and even as far as Portugal to create more than 100 text, audio, and video stories that spotlight positive change in local communities.
Empowering Emerging Journalists
[01]
We actively support emerging journalists by providing essential resources, expert training, and diverse platforms to develop their skills and amplify their voices. Our mission is to nurture a new generation of fearless storytellers, equipped to navigate complex realities, challenge dominant narratives, and enrich democratic discourse. By investing in their growth, we contribute to a more diverse, dynamic, and accountable media environment that reflects the richness of the communities we serve.
Supporting Independent Media as Foundations of Democracy
[02]
Independent media are vital for a truthful, diverse, and engaged public. By supporting access to resources and platforms, we help foster editorial independence and amplify voices that challenge dominant narratives. This support strengthens resilience against misinformation and political pressure, fostering informed communities and safeguarding democratic values.
Storytelling as a Catalyst for Social Change
[03]
We are a platform to showcase stories that need to be heard — stories about freedom, challenges, trauma, hope, and life. Through documentary filmmaking, podcasting, and digital storytelling, we connect personal experiences to wider social issues, fostering empathy, reflection, and inspiring meaningful, transformative change.
