Most MCI projects accept journalists, students, newsroom leaders, and partner organisations who fit the cohort profile. Where applications are open, the "Visit project" button above links to the live form.
Media Challenge EXPO sits under Skilling Next-Gen Journalists, one of six interlocking pillars. The pillar shapes its design, partners, and outcomes.
MCI projects are supported by a coalition of philanthropic funders, intergovernmental partners, and earned revenue. Specific funder credits are listed on the "Visit project" site or available on request.
