ReMeD: Meeting the Challenges of a Changing Journalism Landscape through Funding, EU Regulation and Dialogue (Report)
The European Federation of Journalists (EFJ) has published the report on the policy workshop “Meeting the Challenges of a Changing Journalism Landscape through Funding, EU Regulation and Dialogue”, authored by media expert Oliver Money-Kyrle.
The workshop took place on 12 February 2026, within the framework of the Resilient Media for Democracy in the Digital Age project (ReMeD), a consortium of eight European universities and EFJ. It brought together journalists, journalists’ unions, NGOs, policymakers, and academics for a full day dedicated to discussing journalism funding, the rise of new media actors, and the challenges that journalism faces today.
Panelists discussed the role of journalism as a public good, vital for the survival of our democratic way of life. They pointed out that the current economic model driven by Big Tech dominance of the market is unsustainable and keeps the power to decide what the public reads in the hands of the world’s wealthiest men. Yet, they also highlighted how the European Union has regulatory tools and tech that can counter this threat.
The report summarises the three panel discussions and provides key recommendations to policymakers, regulators, journalists’ organisations and academics. It is available in both English and French.
