The Digital News Initiative (DNI) is a collaboration between Google and news publishers
in Europe to support high quality journalism and encourage a more sustainable news
ecosystem through technology and innovation.
The ambition and intent of the Fund is bold: to help incentivise innovation and
spark new thinking, which could come from anywhere in the news ecosystem, to
give news organisations - of all sizes - the space to try some new things.
We’ve set aside up to €150 million for that purpose, which we’ll make available
in the form of awards over the next three years.
The DNI Innovation Fund is open to for-profit organisations, non-profit
organisations and individuals that aim to produce original journalism and to
enlighten citizens with trustworthy journalistic content, whose projects focus
on encouraging a more sustainable news ecosystem. Established publishers,
online-only players, news startups, publisher consortia, national or
international associations, companies and individuals are all eligible to
apply. Incorporated organisations must be incorporated in the EU or EFTA.
Unincorporated organisations must be registered in the EU or EFTA (or, if
unregistered, have their principal place of business there). Individuals must
be EU or EFTA residents.
