🚀 We're thrilled to announce our THIRD round of funding to support independent Welsh publishers in creating EVEN MORE impactful journalism. Provided by Welsh Gov, this funding will support new jobs, AI-led innovations, and 1,000s of public interest news stories.
Congratulations to all the successful recipients of this funding!
Together, let's nurture a thriving, diverse, and editorially independent media landscape in Wales, and beyond.
