Google has launched the News Equity Fund–also known as the “Fund for Equal News”–a global commitment to providing financial support and opportunities for news organizations whose primary focus is to serve underrepresented communities.
Google’s goal is to support inclusion, empower a diverse news ecosystem, and in particular, to support small- and medium-sized publishers in publishing original journalism content to underrepresented audiences around the world. Registration is open until July 21, 2022, 11:59 P.M. (Pacific Time).
Registration process
News organizations will be asked to complete an online registration form with relevant information about the publication and organization, along with an explanation of how the news organization will benefit from the funding from Google. By submitting an application, the relevant news organization accepts and agrees to the Terms and Conditions of the News Equity Fund. Submissions will be reviewed and funding will commence as of the last registration date. All registrants will receive information about registration status via e-mail.
