ATHENS – The incubator for Media Education and Development (iMEdD) officially launched with a 24-hour program including panel and audience discussions, presentations by journalists, music, film screenings, and food for thought on the future of journalism, as well as the latest installment of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation’s (SNF) monthly DIALOGUES series. Based in Athens, iMEdD is a non-profit organization founded in 2018 with the exclusive support of the SNF.
The new organization aims to promote and reinforce transparency, credibility, independence and excellence in journalism. One avenue of its work, the Ideas Zone, will encourage the exchange of expertise, best practices, and experience with established professionals in the field of journalism, from Greece and abroad.
The Ideas Zone program is intended for journalism students, graduates and professionals. The first three-month thematic cycle, “The Next Day: New Models, New Tools, Different Reality,” will begin on April 1st, 2019. It will include presentations by experienced journalism professionals, as well as representatives of the Greek and international academic community.
At the same time, iMEdD will function as an incubator, hosting existing organizations (both for-profit and non-profit), as well as groups or individuals who wish to create a new organization or implement an innovative project. The goal of iMEdD is to support and embrace their ideas by offering the necessary know-how, strategic guidance, and networking opportunities to make these projects come to life. The incubator will host participants for periods of three to nine months, with the first cycle starting on April 1st, 2019.
