Deadline: 7 October 2023

The Samir Kassir Foundation is seeking applications for the Third Cycle of the Qarib – Media Incubator Programme to enhance the presence of independent electronic media within the media environment.

As these media outlets develop their own skills and business models, they will have the opportunity to expand their reach and provide greater impactful content, while increasing their overall impact on society.

The project will ensure that the necessary support is provided to these media outlets, and help them grow in a more sustainable way, and provide good content, whether through developing their journalistic and technical skills, strengthening their network or media presence, or delving into the possibility of achieving financial returns.

From this standpoint, the Samir Kassir Foundation is launching a new call for applications, with the aim of:

  • Choose between 3 and 4 digital media outlets to participate in the third cycle of the support program.
  • Contributing to developing an alternative vision for the media in Lebanon and Palestine, which contributes to enhancing professional sustainability, ethical reliability, and sensitive high-quality coverage.
  • Creating an enabling environment and launching an alternative discourse based on promoting several ideals and principles such as good governance, pluralism, freedom of expression, democratic participation, and the right to investigate corruption and scandals.
  • Helping emerging journalists in various alternative networks build a more sustainable career path, consistent with their ethical and political considerations.

    • Help formulate a cohesive model for publishing, distributing, and organizing content;
    • Assist in evaluating their project as frequently and as effectively and dynamically as possible.

  • Applicants must meet all conditions:
    • Digital media organizations that produce original content (and are not a news aggregator).
    • Organizations that produce content about news and topical issues.
    • Institutions that are politically independent and transparent about their funding sources.
    • The institutions must be headquartered in Lebanon or Palestine.
    • Priority will be given to organizations that demonstrate respect for diversity among their staff, board members, and coverage topics.
