The One World Media Fund is an initiative aimed at media professionals at an early stage in their career. It will make funding available so they can cover a story in a developing country. The goal is to promote engagement with international development through supporting new voices in the UK media.

Current status

The Fund is currently supporting students as part of the One World Media Student Programme. If you are a student interested in applying for funding, please click here.

We are hoping to expand the remit of the fund over the coming months - please check here for further updates, or subscribe to our newsletter (right).

Why the fund?

There are plenty of emerging journalists and filmmakers who want to report on international development issues - perhaps through in-depth feature articles, observational documentary, or an investigative radio report. And yet, it's all too clear that there are few opportunities to get practical experience reporting on the ground in a developing country.

One World Media aims to assist these new professionals to make high-quality content about the developing world.

"One World Media gave me not only financial support but also practical workshops. As a student from a developing country, it's especially useful for me to learn how to engage western audiences with universal values. It's not pandering, but making voices from the developing world heard by the west."
